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.
