Panoramic Pictures - England

This one (below) is interesting in that although  I only made it recently; the original negs were taken in 1967. It seems that I must have been able to foresee that one day I would be able to create panoramic pictures using a PC! The town is Colne, Lancashire, with Cottontree in the foreground. The three mill chimneys have long since been demolished, only one of the three factories remains. I spent my childhood years in Cottontree, at the 'Chip Shop' at 1 Trawden Road, about half way between the two trees in the middle of the shot.

Colne, seen from Winewall.

This is virtually the same view as seen by Gillian Greenwoods camera in 2003. She kindly sent me some overlapping pictures that I have 'stitched' together in the time honoured way.

Another E-correspondent, Peter Laycock of Colne, has sent me the above panorama taken from the same spot as the 1967 pictures. He took these on a clear day and has done a fine job of creating a panorama. It's quite a big file, about 800K but gave me great pleasure in re-visiting the area of my youth. Thank you, Peter.

One October, my wife Jean and I had a few days in the Lakes. This was the view from Ruskin's house on the banks of Coniston lake, looking across to the Old Man of Coniston. This is said to be one of the best views in the Lake District.

On the same trip, we took a walk every day, boots and all. This was the splendid panorama from a hill top near the pretty village of Hawkshead. I do like the Autumn colours.

South now, to Somerset, this is Blagdon Lake with the Mendips in the background, and the village that can be seen is Blagdon Village. All seen from the saddle during a bike ride out of Bristol with a friend during the summer.

The Eden Project. Another great visit.

Just for a change, here's one in a vertical format. Just two shots combined to make this picture of Aira Force, just a short walk from Ullswater.
