View from our hotel room at the Regent Hotel Bal Harbour, Miami Beach, FL. Unfortunately it was a very rainy and windy day when I took this pano and somehow I forgot to re-do it on one of the nicer days after that. Oh well. You are looking out on Haulover Park, Haulover Beach. In the distance you see the city of Sunny Isles and the tall buildings are the new Trump tower residences. Get your own place on the beach starting at $2 million. Yikes. In this economy. Good luck. I actually took a wider pano of this scene but am missing some frames somewhere. Will have to dissect this to figure out what happened. Canon SX110 is and Gigapan Epic. |

Panorama of Coffs Harbour Jetty Beach and Jetty. The Marina with Mutton Bird Island.
The Beach (at low tide), was used as a landing strip for Avro 504 and Bristol Bi-Planes in the 1920's. There seem to be a few faults with the stitching on the horizon of the panorama. Will try to figure out how to correct this in the future....Could it possibly be the software.....? |

Chesil Beach is one of the finest barrier beaches in the World and forms part of the Dorset and East Devon 'Jurassic Coast' World Heritage Site.
The beach stretches some 28km west from Portland to West Bay. The pebbles are famously graded from cobbles here at Portland, to pea sized gravel at West Bay. Behind the beach lies the village of Chiswell, Portland harbour, where the 2012 sailing Olympics will take place, and the Fleet Lagoon which is important for its wildlife both above and below the water. The beach has withstood the forces of the sea for thousands of years but is occasionally over topped by storms and is slowly moving on shore and loosing its volume. One bay it will break up but when? |

Palamós is a town and municipality in the Mediterranean Costa Brava, located in the comarca of Baix Empordà, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
Palamos was founded and recognised as a village on 3 December 1279 by 'Pere el Gran', 'Comte de Barcelona' (Peter III of Aragon). He wanted to found a new port on the coast as the previous royal port in the region at Torroella de Montgrí on the River Ter had silted up. Palamós is situated at the northern end of a large bay, which is popular for swimming, sailing and windsurfing. The town is by-passed by the C31 which connects the coastal towns of the central Costa Brava with Girona. Palafrugell lies 8.5 km to the north and Castell-Platja d'Aro 7 km to the south. The town is a major port (with the closure of Sant Feliu the only commercial harbour in the Province of Girona) with one of the last remaining fishing fleets on this part of the mediterranian coast. It is famous for the locally caught prawns (Gambes). In the picture the "new" or relatively recent pleasure harbour. |

Wind turbines at Blyth east pier - rotating blades were bound to create a problem for this type of panorama, but also signs that the unit wasn't quite level.
A test after days of wet & wild weather! |

Only two miles from Christchurch, Mudeford is a charming fishing village lying at the entrance to Christchurch Harbour.
G9 Canon cameras with the auto focus lock still not set it right? Just to make it more interesting I Photoshop the images which make the sky stand out more. |
