Welcome to Panorama: The Journal of Travel, Place, and Nature’s 17th edition. Many thanks to all contributors, readers, and particularly the editors—Paula Lee, Devi S. Laskar, David Ishaya Osu, Amanda Barnsley White, Joelle Renstrom, Kerry Neville, Kevan Manwaring, Anis Ibrahim, Shehla Anjum, Lisa VanderVeen, Kristin Winet, Faith Adiele, Tia Welch Maerz, and Paula Read—who made this collection possible.

In this issue, Mildred Thompson takes us on a trip to Ghana in 1972, Alton Melvar M. Dapanas explores the work of Giancarlo Huapaya, and Kerstin Hacker introduces the Bakashimika International Photography Festival. Luke Oppenheimer takes us to the ranges of the Tien Shan mountains, in a preview of his new photobook ‘Ottuk.’ Faith Adiele’s reflection following a recent homecoming lays bare an intensely personal story to which many of us can relate.

Panorama has always been a space to express our lives, stories, and reflect on the wonders, hardships, and joys we experience. I give you REFLECTIONS.

— Matthew Webb, Director, Panorama
