-700.jpg "Charging Bull (Wall Street)")
The Charging Bull bronze by Arturo Di Modica is the symbol of the financial district. According to wikipedia, the artist dropped the 3.2t sculpture off in front of the stock exchange as a present to the people of New York. The police towed it away and impounded it, public outcry followed, and the sculpture was moved to its current location in the middle of Broadway. While taking the panorama I had to stop at least four times because some tourists wanted to stand in front of the bull have have their picture taken. Let me know which of the two versions you like better.
About 350 megapixel.

I think I like the second one.

How on earth did you manage to get the Bull without the tourists – taken about 3am? I was taking panoramas of New York recently (see New York on Panoramic Earth), and it was always too crowded during the day here.
