Quicktime VR Panoramas from the Isle of Jura

Most of my pictures from the Isle of Jura (and the Isle of Islay) only show a small area. On this page I will collect pictures showing you a little bit more: 360° and 180° (or thereabouts) Quicktime VR Panoramas from the Isle of Jura. To view them you will need the Apple QuickTime plugin installed on your PC. The previews on this page give you an impression of what to expect, follow the links under the previews for the full experience. Note: Most of the panoramas are quite big, depending on your connection speed they might take a while to download.

A 360° panoramic view from the summit of Beinn an Oir, the highest of the Paps of Jura, on beautiful June day in 2010. The view takes in the east coast of the Isle of Islay across the Sound of Islay as well as many of the other surrounding islands.

A 180° panoramic view from the summit of Beinn Shiantaidh, the second highest of the Paps of Jura, taken on the same beautiful June day in 2010 as the first panorama. The view takes in Beinn an Oir, Beinn a' Chaolais, some of the lower hills on Jura as well as parts of Islay and few other places.

More panoramas will follow here

More to come over time, when I had the chance to take pictures and put them together into a panorama. If you have any suggestions please send me an e-mail and I'll see what I can do during one of my visits to Islay and Jura.
