This Google Photos panorama fail is actually just really awesome

It's a fail, but it's a perfect and beautiful one.

Google Photos has this pretty neat feature that will stitch together photos to create one seamless panoramic scene. Results may vary, though.

The feature is automatic, and Photos will only stitch together pictures that were taken close to each other, so you can't really game the system too easily. However, sometimes Google will get a little confused and combine photos that don't really go together well.

Redditor MalletsDarker took some photos at Lake Louise in Canada recently and received this panoramic photo from Google. Please admire all that this technology has to offer.

When someone asked if Google stitched the photos together itself, MalletsDarker confirmed that this was done automatically.

Thank you, technology for this beautiful magic.
