Limerick

When Chris and I were in Saskatchewan back in June of this past summer, we visited the Limerick Hotel in Limerick, Saskatchewan, for the Beer Parlour Project.  This visit turned out to be BP 13.0.  Inside the tavern the owners had an old picture of the town of Limerick, from 1923.  Fast forward 101 years later, and they asked us to try to replicate that old photo.
The owner and a bunch of his buddies parked their hot rods on main street and posed beside them.  The Limerick Hotel is actually a block down the street on the right hand side.  The old building visible in the 1923 photo on the left side, is also a hotel, but that one is long gone, and is not the one that we visited.
Chris created the modern panoramic photograph by stitching together over twenty photographs that he took with his digital camera.  I recently had the photo printed and will be sending it to the owners of the hotel.  It is printed to 12 inches by 36 inches.
