Arrival of the Black Nazarene in Lawton

Here's my panoramic photo view of the arrival of the Black Nazarene in Lawton. I'm here on top of the roof of the underpass, same spot where I stayed from last year, I got lucky to be here again with no hassle in finding a good spot and vantage point in covering this event. This venue serves as my safezone too, its chaotic below with a sea of people.
