I thought this would be a fun title for a category of various photos taken in urban settings, from street photography to architecture, but maybe this should be a place for quick shots we encounter during walks. What do you think? If you like it, post your shots, otherwise let it be buried.

What lens did you use? Distortion suggests fisheye to some extent … or was this a phone-captured ultra-wide?
It was my Lumix LX7, at 24 mm equivalent, but I set target geometry to stereographic to avoid distorting people close to the edges, and to get a bit wider view. Of course, that distorted straight lines.
I should have set the camera to its native 16:9 aspect ratio (4144x2248) to go even wider; the original image was 3:2 (3776x2520).
With stereographic:
Without lens correction and cropping as wide as possible, showing where I have no data to work with:
