Remember, panoramas are large files, though I have compressed them a bit, they will still take some time to download, particularly on dail-up connections!  And remember, scroll L-R to see all of the photo.

Following are a variety of panoramic photos in no particular order. I have been adding a bunch of new photos to my website, but just haven't had time to make thumbnails and real web pages for each one. So...there are just links to the actual photo itself, which will be displayed as a jpeg in your broswer. You can use the browser's BACK button to return to this page.
Remember, most modern browsers will fit the image to the browser window, so you must mouse over the image so that your cursor changes to a magnifying glass. If the cursor shows a "PLUS SIGN", click and the full size image will appear, then you then must scroll L-R to see all the image. Click the "MINUS SIGN" cursor to fit in window again. Remember, these are fairly large photos and will take a while to load on dail-up.
