The World Wide Panorama

Introduction

The World Wide Panorama event of the first quarter of 2025 is a collection of panoramas with the common theme of “Hidden”.

Theme Essay: Hidden

The essay conveys the team’s idea of the event. It is usually published together with the Theme announcement and offers a starting point for the contributing photographers.

The theme for the new WWP-Event is hidden. But we will reveal it now. The theme is “Hidden”. There are two major possibilities that come to my mind:

1. There is a thing hidden somewhere and you do not know about it. When you find it, it is by sheer chance. In our area sometimes farmers find some Roman coins in their fields. Sometimes they find foundations of Roman villas. And in German cities you still find dud bombs from WW II.
   
2. You know about the fact that there is something hidden. In a text, a piece of furniture, a house or an area. This usually triggers a search for the hidden item. Or rather it provokes a search since we humans cannot stand the fact that there is something hidden, that we are unable to find. And so Hide and Seek is a very popular type of games.
   

We are inviting you to submit panoramas to the event “Hidden”. It would be great, if you could give some hints to what is hidden in the comment to your panorama.

Many thanks to Bernhard Vogl for his panorama of the ruins of the Sofienbad/Sofiensäle in Vienna. More information at https://worldwidepanorama.org/wwp610/BernhardVogl-6261.html
