One from yesterday - when I was processing this it just cried panorama. What do you think?

Thanks for looking.

Des, you beat me to it, not sure whether to wait and give this space, which it well deserves :toast:

Good soft gentle light, good placement and the pano works extremely well. The heather is coming out and if you find the right spot, it's a riot of colour :wink: Nice work. :toast: :toast:
