Panorama Stitching with Hugin

I recently moved into a new place and the view from the 38th floor is just amazing. So I came up with the idea of creating a nice panorama picture of it. After playing around with a few freeware and shareware solutions I stumbled accross Hugin, a open source panorama stitcher. I did my initial trial with pictures from my mobile phone and they turned out to be not really good. I re-took the images with my Canon Powershot in high res and spent some time to create a lot of control points and the result is amazing and very, very big. The original result file from Hugin was a 300 MB TIFF file. I scaled it down for the web, so enjoy the view over Toronto:
