More panoramas

First published 26th June 2022

I enjoy taking panoramas (usually stitched together using Microsoft's Image Composite Editor1. They are quite a few on this website and here's a few more:

Winchester Panorama

First published 3rd February 2018 (Last Modified 9th January 2021)

Includes bonus of my shadow! Taken from St. Catherine's Hill on 1st February 2018 during a walk with Brian, Sue and Matthew. At usual you can click on image to see a bigger version.

Bristol Harbour panorama

First published 26th January 2018 (Last Modified 9th January 2021)

I'm quite pleased with how this panorama of Bristol's floating harbour turned out, I perhaps should have been further along to the east so that perhaps SS Great Britain would have been included - but then I'd have had to contend with the black pipe visible on the right edge of this image and would probably have lost the tower of Clifton Suspension Bridge that this one includes. I might play with GIMP to see if I can tone down the brightness of all the white houses, but I'm liking this one.

(You may wish to click on the image to get the full resolution, this 900x322 version doesn't do this image justice.)

Walking to Wales

First published 3rd September 2017 (Last Modified 9th January 2021)

Yesterday I did a walk from Severn Beach to Chepstow via the old Severn Bridge (the newer one (M4) doesn't have a walkway/cycleway on it). This is a walk that is only recommended on days without much wind as you're quite exposed once on the Severn bridge crossing. Also worth noting that you're actually not in Wales until halfway across the Wye Bridge (which crosses the River Wye).

View (looking North) from the eastern end of the Severn Bridge. Most of the view is actually England, although the hills in the distance next to the bridge in the West (left of the image) are Welsh.

Weston-super-mare

Taken a couple of days ago, looking towards Wales from above the (sadly) derelict Birnbeck Pier

Westbury

First published 27th August 2017 (Last Modified 9th January 2021)

Taken just a few days ago from nearby Westbury's White Horse. On this trip I discovered that the horse, while once from Chalk, was concreted over by English Heritage in the 1950's to preserve it. The fact that the horse was corrected in the 1700's means that there's isn't as much archaeology to preserve as there might have been, so, on balance, probably a reasonable decision. That said I'm now loath to call it a white horse bearing in mind that Uffington's one is a better preserved iron age one still made of Chalk.

Clifton Suspension Bridge

First published 27th August 2017 (Last Modified 9th January 2021)

This was taken in March 2015 from the Leigh Woods side of the Bridge (i.e., looking towards Clifton. It looks a bit weird (no roadway for example) as it's composed from images from both the north and south sides of the Bridge Parapets.

Bristol Harbour

First published 27th August 2017 (Last Modified 9th January 2021)

Another panorama from my visit to Bristol during the Heritage Days last year. I was near the end of the floating harbour when a flotilla of boats passed through the lock into the harbour - so the swing bridge across this end of the harbour was open while I was collecting this panorama.

Composed from a set of pictures I took in Bristol during the Heritage Days last year.
