As was so adroitly pointed out to me once...

Are your eyes side-by-side or one on top of the other?

or...

Ever see a vertical motion picture screen?

It is human nature to "see" in panorama.  The only reason I go vertical is
when using a wideangle lens to accentuate a strong foreground/background
juxtaposition... a technique as opposed to a natural perception.

Greetings from the bar at Halifax airport!!!
CHEERS ALL!!
