Morogoro panorama

Original - A panorama of Morogoro Town showing the town and the activities of the people. The mountain ranges in the background are Nguru Mountains.

Reason: Good quality and EV, the only image in the Morogoro article. It shows the infrastructure and the mountainous area around the town. Took me a very long time to put together and get it right. It covers app 120 degrees.
Articles this image appears in: Morogoro

Support. Likely to be among the best photographic images illustrating this city. Mostlyharmless (talk) 05:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Completely unrelated to the FPC, but do you mind explaining why the city is jokingly referred to as "Mji kasoro bahari"? (Last sentence of the lead.) Just curious. wadester 16 06:49, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- "Mji kasoro bahari" translates to City short of an ocean/port. I first came across the phrase when I was adding the image so I am not sure why, probably because it is one of the most populated towns after Dar es Salaam but unlike DSM, it is landlocked. --Muhammad(talk) 07:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak~~ Support Weak because I'm hoping you'll upload a bigger version. The height seems a bit small. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Uploaded larger version. --Muhammad(talk) 20:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support but agree with Noodle Snacks. For a panoramic image, the height is a bit lacking. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 15:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Wow, Muhammad, :-) Meets all the criteria in my opinion. Better with the extra sky, too. Maedin\^talk 06:41, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Why is there so much focus on the roundabout when the picture is about Morogoro's panorama? Wai Hong (talk) 11:06, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The area around the roundabout is one of the busiest and most developed places in Morogoro town. --Muhammad(talk) 19:00, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support Lovely picture... I'm intruiged as to the random bike parked half on a herb half into the road in the bottom left that to me seems to be the krb dividing and entrance and exit to the roundabout... As a driving instructor by trade that seems like a silly place to park a bike... Gazhiley (talk) 11:08, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support, but I'd prefer that the comment indicate the vantage point, the direction you were facing, some landmarks visible in the photo (especially if they have their own wiki articles) and the names of the mountains in the background. Spikebrennan (talk) 18:44, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- The vantage point was the terrace of a 4 story residential building, facing North. Mountains in the background are probably the Nguru Mountains. the Uluguru Mountains are to the south.
