Spherical Panoramas allow the viewer to look in any direction, as if one were standing in the center of a sphere. The Spherical Panorama does away with the photographer's single framed point of view. You are free to explore every angle and to inspect any detail of the image by zooming in and around the total sphere.
You can also view these images within Google Earth or at 360Cities see the links at the bottom of this page.
You will require a viewer to see the images, if you don't have one installed already (there are several available free) then the system will offer you a link. If you prefer to manually control the viewer selection then please make your choice below.

Slindon Pumpkin Shop
The late Ralph Upton grew pumpkins in Slindon for over 40 years and his autumn display attracts visitors from around the world, now his family continues the tradition. From September to November the barns adjoining his former home in Top Road Slindon are festooned with a display created from the 50-plus varieties of pumpkin and over 30 varieties of squash. The range of sizes, colours and shapes is extraordinary and each year he tried a new variety. Ralph and his wife Barbara also wrote a book of recipes to accompany the crop, and their own favourite is a thick creamy soup made from the beautiful blue-grey Crown Prince squash.
