Robert Bilsland's Panoramas

http://igallery.panoview.co.uk/TheMalvernHills.jpg The Malvern Hills is categorised as an area of outstanding natural beauty and you can see why. The hills themselves are a range of hills about 8 miles in length, with it's highest point at its northern end at 1395ft. Of course the other thing the hills are famous for is its spring water. Not only is there the Coca-Cola bottling plant but plenty of other places that the general public can access where water just bubbles out of the rocks.

But like always I would never get round to doing it. Well finally a perfect day appeared and out I went camera in hand aiming to correct this. At its peak the whole field is just a single sea of blue, from the hedge to hedge.

I have been eating here on a semi-regular basis since Juliet and Michael took over the running back in Noverber 2004. I can honestly say that in all the years I have been eating there I have never had a bad meal (and I've eaten quite a few). This panorama show has nice the restaurant is.

I was as this location to shoot an assignment as part of a photography course that I was doing, but as the view was so nice I shot this panorama too.

The castle is now looked after by English Heritage. The castle is brought to life by a personal audio tour that you can listen to as you walk around the castle from top to bottom.

It is in use all year round. Ontop of a full size theatre that quite often has shows either direct to or direct from the west end, there is another large hall that can hold concerts etc and a large cinema. This all in one complex along with a couple of bars and a restaurant and being set on the edge of the towns public gardens.

The road was a doubled edged sword for the ribbon because without the road being put in it would never have been found, but the discovery was deemed not important enough to stop the road so ahead it went. The ribbon itself is the path of fire cracked stones set into the ground.

This was where each local BBC team undertook a project to improvement the environment in their local area. What you see here is the completed project in Leominster, Herefordshire, England done by a team from BBC Hereford and Worcester. At the moment it looks a bit empty, but give it a while and everything should start growing and fill in the gaps.

The course was run by All Yours Photography in Malvern, Worcestershire, England. This panorama shows a gallery of their work and also the student's submissions for the final course assignment on the theme of "Old". The student's submissions are the 10 small square frames arranged in a sort of U shape, with a single frame containing some text explaining what it is all about in the middle.
