Pano's are a bit Marmite for me, but they do look awesome on a wall. Especially if you have a love for the area its in, Seven Sisters in Eastbourne, from hope gap which is Saltdean on the other side of the Cuckmere outlet. This scene was the backdrop for Kevin Costner in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

I got a new computer recently and one of the reasons was to move up to 64 bit processing so I could then move up to Adobe LR 6. One feature of this version is that raw files can be merged directly into panos or HDRs resulting in dng file that can then be processed in LR. Previously I was using PS Elements for panos.
The view looking down on Wigan Wallgate from the WCML embankment in March 1987. 47480 'Robin Hood' works through on the loopline with the 12.40 Northenden - Appley Bridge containerised waste train.
A good study of 1980's cars on view including my own Midnight Blue Cortina 'S' in the right hand Railtrack Yard.
An idea for a large tree fortress, I'm thinking 60 studs high at least. The middle section is an old tower that the tree has grown over. Multiple levels, dungeon at the bottom, living quarters above, lookouts, etc. I don't think I have the black bricks to do it that large but I might try plates vertically as I seem to have way more black plate than brick. Time to do some experiments.
This is the Marina in the community of Robinhood in Georgetown, Maine. A panorama of 8 merged photos.
A nice warm sunny spring morning at Robinhood Marina in Georgetown, Maine.
The Sasanoa River, part of the Inside Passage from Booth Bay to Bath, is an estuary leading from Sheepscot River to Kennebec River, north of Georgetown and Arrowsic Islands. It has numerous coves and bays one of which is Robinhood.

Poem 14 from OUTCASTS IN GREENWOOD: Poems inspired by the Medieval Robin Hood Ballads
THE KING'S PARDON
His forearms burly as oak limbs,
His eyes singular as acorns:
I should have known.
The flexed wrist tendoned as leaf veins,
The narrow iris green as chlorophyll,
Were due warning.
When fox and wolf missed the butts
My zeal was sharp for buffeting,
Lugs red from clouting.
An arrow astray; his fist
Is hard as oakwood, seasoned
With sun and smoke.
I croak, and spit out loam;
The oak leaves wreath his snarl.
I cringe, and call him king.
Poem by Giles Watson; reading recorded on 2nd April, 2010.

The pictures are illustrations of the Robin Hood legend, spanning the 15th to the 20th centuries. The photo and the pencil drawing of the King are my own.
Robinhood is a small coastal community within the town of Georgetown, Maine.
The Robinhood Free Meetinghouse is a historic church building in Georgetown, Maine. Built in 1856, it is a modest example of vernacular Greek Revival architecture, distinctive as one of Maine's few rural 19th-century churches to have its sanctuary space on the second floor.
The former Robinhood Free Meetinghouse stands in a rural area in the northern part of the island community of Georgetown. It is a two-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The front facade is symmetrical, with two entrances flanking a square multipane window in the center, above which is a sash window. The building corners have paneled pilasters rising to an entablature and a fully pedimented cornice. An open deck with balustrade extends most of the way across the front and beyond the left corner. The first floor interior originally consisted of three small chambers across the front, and a larger open chamber to the rear, which was used as a classroom. The main sanctuary is on the second floor, with original pews and other 19th-century features.
The church was built in 1856, to house Methodist and Congregationalist church groups. The downstairs area served as a vestry meeting space and classroom for religious instruction. The Congregationalists ceased use of the church in 1864, while the Methodist congregation continued to use it for another century. [Wikipedia]
"Nothing beats warm chicken leg freshly stolen from the sheriff's kitchen, such a delightful afternoon snack. 10/10 would recommend."

Life Had been hard. The morale of Robin's outlaws was low. Years of living rough in the forrest had taken its toll. So when they discovered the horde of gold at the mill, Robin decided to use the money to by a small Inn on the edge of the forrest. Now he and his men could carry on their good deeds knowing they had a warm bed to return to after a quest. Not just that however, they also had an endless supply of wines, beers and ale. His men soon cheered up and from that day onward, they became know as 'Robin Hood and his MERRY men!

The church was built in 1856, to house Methodist and Congregationalist church groups. The downstairs area served as a vestry meeting space and classroom for religious instruction. The church was designed by Moses Riggs, member of the locally prominent Riggs family, and was built on land given by Herbert Low and Francis Low, Jr. The Congregationalists ceased use of the church in 1864, while the Methodist congregation continued to use it for another century. It has since passed into private ownership, and has recently been adapted for use as a restaurant.[Wikipedia]
