Original - A
panoramic image showing the town of
Burnley from Crown point road. To the far top left of the image is the imposing
Pendle Hill, with the
Yorkshire Dales visible in the top central background. The left of the image shows the town centre of Burnley and
Turf Moor can be seen in the very centre of the picture. To the right the areas of Brunshaw and Pike Hill can be seen. Also two of the 'Burnley Future Schools' sites can be seen, one behind the football stadium and the other in the foreground to the right of the image.
Reason
a large, detailed and very wide pano showing the town of burnley as well as a host of features in the surrounding geography. Suggested to try here from Peer Review

Oppose Something should be urgently done about the blue haze in the background. This is not supposed to illustrate the weather conditions, but the town, so there's no excuse.

But surely if the blue haze is in the background then it is not a problem? I don't see much of a haze over the town itself. The large hills in the background are quite far away, so I don't see the blue haze as being particularly unnatural or undesireable.

It's a great illustration of Burnley? Is that not reason enough to nominate? Yeah, Burnley perhaps isn't the most exciting of places to many eyes, but this seems like a solid panorama to me. Shows the environment, the kind of housing, gives a feel for the modern town. If I was to criticise, I would say it doesn't speak much about the history of the city, but that's not what it set out to do.

To compare, take a look at
today's POTD. It's a view of what I take to be a fairly typical settlement for the area, but looking at it tells me so much- I've never been anywhere like that, I'm transported into a different world. Wikipedia is a worldwide project, and, equally, many people will have never been anywhere like Burnley, and what they imagine it to look like may be completely wrong.
