It was nice over Sheffield 2023-12-26 so I snapped tons of pictures (>60) at 200mm from the top of Meersbrook Park and stitched them together into a big panorama using Hugin.

Took a few attempts but this isn't bad, some minor alignment issues and exposure/blending is a bit hazy towards the left but ok.

Chainsaws, disguises and toxic tea: the battle for Sheffield’s trees

What started out as a small protest escalated into a decade-long battle between the council and hundreds of ordinary people who decided to take radical action to save their city’s trees
