This is the photo I wanted to enter on the Pattern Challenge. Discovered when I went to work it over that some bit-rot had overtaken my original Hugin install, so was delayed while getting that sorted out and missed the game.

So what's so special about the technique: I used Hugin (source and prebuilt binaries for many OSs available here -- http://hugin.sourceforge.net) News to me is that whereas Hugin used to come with the 'AutoStitch' control-point finder, they seem to have detached that from the project. I expect it's available as a plug-in from somewhere; haven't chased it down yet. So, I went through the exercise of manually entering the control-points. Not hard, but a bit tedious.
Also, I understand some stitchers will let you provide a line for the app to blend the adjacent images around. (And this one may, and I just haven't found it yet.) The blend-lines in this image aren't optimal, but still.
I kinda' like the scalloped edge effect, but were I cropping, I'd lose some of the material at the far right.
In any case, it has trains...
