Have a Panorama Party!
On the 25th of December 2015 I was walking off my Christmas dinner around the hills of where my parents live in the Bernese countryside. It was a nice, but snowless day. I came to spot called ‘Ledifluh’ that offers a fantastic view of the alps. Obviously (in my case) I took advantage of the beautiful view to take a few photos that I could stitch together to make a panorama.
At home I showed it to my father who then mentioned, that he will talk to his colleagues at the Swiss Alpine Club Ledifluh about it. The club had a 50th anniversary coming up (in 2019) and he thought, a panorama table would be great way to celebrate this event.
I forgot all about it until I got contacted early 2018 by the president of the club asking for an example of a labelled panorama from the Ledifluh. I worked on it, and after sending it back and forth a few times to add the logos and decide on the title, the club went with following version.
I was also instructed to deliver a stand on which the panorama is fixed. I used my usual contact and we came up with a simple solution where the printed panorama acts as a table and is attached directly to the stand.
Deadline for everything was the 50th anniversary party on Saturday, 10th of August 2019. By then the stand had to be installed but the image was not supposed to be shown until it was revealed at the party. Hence we had to put the table up in the days before the presentation, wait for the concrete to set and then remove the plate again. Only on the day itself did we put the picture back on (nicely wrapped) so that the president of the club could then have a speech and reveal the panorama in front of all the guests.
Here a few impressions of the day itself that will be remembered by the participants for a long time. The panorama will entertain many hikers for years to come.
