4 new paons uploaded

It must be July, the panos are flowing. ;-P

Alex and I went to a very cool site today, the Kinsol Trestle, one of the largest wooden trestles in Canada! A magnificent sight -- I would have loved to stay there for hours, but we only had time to take 2 QTVR panos.

I've processed the first one, which is now available for download from the QTVR panoramas page. These panos were taken with a better digital camera than previous ones, so it's much larger and sharper. Please check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Also, the 2 panos from Saxe Point, and 1 of the 3 panos of the 90mm AA gun are now available.

5! more panoramas

Yesterday, Alex and I shot 5 more QTVR panoramas. We've processed 3 of them so far. The ones we're processed are really really beautiful, IMHO. I'll upload them to the panoramas page when I've finished processing all 5.

There will be 2 shots from Saxe Point in Esquimalt (a municipality of Greater Victoria, home of our western naval base), and up to 3 shots of a 90mm anti-aircraft gun from Fort Rodd Hill National Park, a historical military site.
