I was uninformed, I had briefly played with the Unix panoramic tool 'hugin' once, but didn't even remember to set the focus/exposure the same for all the photos. I even made it harder by shifting my position to get a few more shots of the city.

I started hugin, loaded the images randomly, and it actually figured out where each shot went and it stitched and blended everything together. All I had to do was tell hugin what line I wanted to be the horizon (and hence straight). hugin and enblend are awesome tools. Wow.

As if that wasn't good enough luck, I just realized that I happened to capture the Téléphérique (cable car) as it came into view. The Panaroma gods were smiling on me that day.
