The photography for this panorama has taken 2.5 years. Here's how that happened.

I stumbled upon this gem of industrial heritage one day only minutes before it closed. I hurried to set up my gear, only to find out my memory card was full halfway through shooting. I switched memory cards and continued shooting, only to find out at home that I lost one of the 6 shots. Panorama lost... Two and a half years later, I had another chance to enter the building, but this time I only had my camera with me, none of my other gear. Even so, I could finally complete my panorama.
