Panoramas
The landscapes of the Cambrian Mountains are breathtaking,
not so much for the raw natural beauty that is so striking in more mountainous
areas, but for the wide horizons, the sense of space, and for the wild
hill scenery gently rolling into the distance. It is almost impossible
to capture the essence of these places in an ordinary photograph, so here
is a small library of panoramas.
N.B. You need to have the Java
Runtime Environment installed on your computer to view the panoramas;
if they don't work, you probably haven't got Java. It's a free download,
from http://www.java.com/en/
If you have installed Java, and
they still won't work, please let us know.
