A panorama (formed from Greek πᾶν "all" + ὅραμα "sight") is any wide-angle view or representation of a physical space, whether in painting, drawing, photography, film/video, or a three-dimensional model.
A panoramic view is also proposed for multi-media, cross-scale applications to outline overview (from a distance) along and across repositories. This so called a cognitive panorama is a panoramic view over and a combination of cognitive spaces. For more see the International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics.
The word was originally coined by the Irish painter Robert Barker to describe his panoramic paintings of Edinburgh. Shown on a cylindrical surface and viewed from the inside, they were exhibited in London in 1792 as "The Panorama". The motion-picture term panning is derived from panorama.
In the mid-19th century, panoramic paintings and models became a very popular way to represent landscapes and historical events. Audiences of Europe in this period were thrilled by the aspect of illusion, immersed in a winding 360 degree panorama and given the impression of standing in a new environment. The Dutch marine painter Hendrik Willem Mesdag created and established the Panorama Mesdag of The Hague, Netherlands, in 1881, a cylindrical painting more than 14 metres high and roughly 40 meters in diameter (120 meters in circumference). In the same year of 1881, the Bourbaki Panorama in Lucerne, Switzerland, which exhibits a circular painting, was created by Edouard Castres. The painting measures about 10 metres in height with a circumference of 112 meters. Another example would be the Atlanta Cyclorama, depicting the Civil War Battle of Atlanta. It was first displayed in 1887, and is 42 feet high by 358 feet wide. Even larger than these paintings is the Racławice Panorama located in Wrocław, Poland, which measures 120 × 15 metres.
Walking down an alley
Deep in blue neon
A dead end for today
Under skyways worn
Concrete from far below
Rising up above
Surrounded by shadows
Garden without gods
All are strangers alike
All riding the blind
The purple of blind
The purple of their eyes
In reverie unwind
Circling sub-city
A rainbow appears
To calm down the fury
To calm all the fears
This random occurrance
Is only a sign
Of the incoherence
In the clockwork mind
A symphony of our time
Recalling the past
People in a decline
Denying the vibrations we're made of
Somber drama
Rolling down hill
Panorama
All is so still
Anyway, anyhow
Anyhow, anyway
End of all reason
Is what I go through
Yes, it is what I go through
Slip-sliding nation
Is what they must do
Yes, it is what they must do
Over the greying landscape
Under a deadened sky
Sitting on a mountain
I will stand aside
As I am a witness
I turn a blind eye
I am feeling helpless
But it passes by
Is this a modern legend?
Maybe a fairy tale
Just a future requiem
Cutting along the fiction that we're
It's time to say Goodbye
It's time to say Goodbye
It's time to say Goodbye
my love
I walk away
I walk away, i can't stay
I walk away, i know
it's too late
This is the only way
there's nothing you need to say
we've gone astray
It's no use to explain anymore
your sad eyes speak more than thousand words
one last look, one last smile
it's time for us to say goodbye
(English)
Both those in the East and those in the West
should be clear with the fact that we are not
moving away from the road that we beat the path
for in 48. That is to say we have our own way,
we always say what is right on this side and
what is not, and what is right on the other side
and what is not.
It should be clear to everyone that we cannot
be no ones appendage of nobody's politics, that
we have our own point of view and that we know
I will not wait again this time
And I've given up on fate to get me by
And I've tried to win this race and fell behind the one you wanted
So I'll try to make it right, hoping you will see the light
Cause she's no match for you
No matter what you say
She just can't do the way
I do...
Time never waits for even those who run
Where are the words to make you stay
Now that you're so far gone?
Like the stars remain in place
As the world continues to rotate
I'll be here, but I'll have exploded
Before your mind is made
Cause she's no match for you
No matter what you say
She just can't do the way
I do...
She only pretends with you
A means to an end with you
No hands around your neck like I do
She only pretends...
To do the way I do
Cause she's no match for you
No matter what you say
She just can't do the way
I do...
She's no match for you
No matter what you say
She just can't do the way
I do, I do, I do.
Murder follows me like a leech from sunset, hard on my heels to the midnight
Beach
Multitudes of every skin, around the glowing sparks they begin
To sing
Everybody is watching the dancer, all the way from barcelona
Teddy boy's are farming, it's all a little alarming
Chorus: I felt forty-five and was barely alive
I saw a human tribe and was terrified
Cross-legged and nonchalant, I try to make the sermon read
Back to front
Laughing all the time, this soeech goes like a dream and all
Of us hits the streets
Everybody screams "follow the leader" and begging now for food from
The feeder
Murder taps my shoulder - I fell the air getting colder
Chorus: I felt forty-five and was barely alive
I saw a human tribe and was terrified
Simply, now it's matter of time, everything is loose but soon
It will be fine
Giving out whiskey and rules, we're just dangling our feet sitting
Here by the pool
Everybody is calling me something (all the time we're looking for something)
Teddy boys in armour, threatening my whole panorama
Chorus: I felt forty-five and was barely alive
Tu esi ta, kas ar mani vienmer paruna.
Tu esi ta, kas vienmer nak
Pie manis vakara.
Tevi ieksa vienmer svaiga informacija,
Ka dzivo musu nacija,
Un vai ta vispar ir?
Vecas zinas krajas viena liela gabala.
Kompjuteri sitas vecas zinas saglaba.
Tevi ieksa vienmer veca informacija,
Ka dzivo laudis Vacija,
Un vai tur vispar laudis ir.
Rama, rama panorama,
To skatas katrs kungs
Un katra dama.
