The broad landscape that can be seen from a viewpoint is known as a panorama.
A panorama is the landscape of large proportions that can be seen from a viewpoint or other observation point. For example: “From here you can get a great panorama of the lake and mountains” , “This hotel offers me a unique panorama of the beach” .
Panorama is also that view painted on a large hollow cylinder , which presents in the center a circular and isolated platform for spectators. This platform is covered so that the overhead light is invisible.
Panorama as a general aspect
On the other hand, the general aspect of an issue is known as an outlook: "The current political outlook is gloomy," "The business outlook is not encouraging."
In this sense, the panorama involves a review or analysis of the entire situation . The concept is associated with a broad vision, which transcends specific or concrete aspects. Talking about the political panorama refers to the situation of various parties and personalities, not of a single political party or a single leader.
The panorama is the general aspect of an issue, which arises from an analysis or review of various data.
The term in the theater
In the theater environment, a panorama is called a fabric with a flat surface that, thanks to its uniform color or the different shades of paint, represents the natural sky or offers a sensation of ambient spaciousness.
The panorama, in this frame, is located in the background of the scene and is usually illuminated in such a way as to achieve the desired effect.
Panorama as a town name
In the same way, we cannot ignore that several towns in the world respond to the name Panorama . Thus, for example, one of them is located in Brazil , specifically in Sao Paulo . It is a place that has a population of around 13,500 inhabitants and is characterized by being bathed by the Paraná River .
In Greece and more specifically in Thessaloniki is where there is also a suburb called Panorama . In its case, about 20,000 inhabitants live there, which is located at the foot of Mount Hortiatis .
American towers
Likewise, in addition to everything explained, we have to highlight the fact that in the field of architecture there are several constructions throughout the world that are named after the term we are analyzing. A clear example of this is the Panorama Towers that are located in the American city of Las Vegas .
These buildings are made up of three towers so far, although a fourth Panorama Tower is in the pipeline. The first and second of those are both 128 meters high while the third surpasses them, as it is 147 meters. This latter tower has been renamed The Martin .
Other uses of the notion of panorama
All this without forgetting that one of the most important films starring agent 007 , James Bond , also has the aforementioned word in its title. We are referring to the film "A View to a Kill" , which was released in 1985 and stars Roger Moore .
Finally, "Panorama" was the second newspaper with the highest circulation in Venezuela . It was published in the city of Maracaibo (state of Zulia ) and was created in 1914 by Abraham and David Belloso Rossell , in association with Ramón Villasmil .
