Panoramic Perspectives of Southern England and Northern France


In September 2017 I spent three weeks in southern England and northern France touring museums, iconic sites, and cathedrals. I found that the panoramic feature on my phone camera offered a unique perspective on my experience as a tourist. Enjoy these wide-angle views.

Note: If you click an image you get a bigger view and can then scroll through (but you can't see my captions).
