Stunning performance, mirrorgirl, I'll get them up this week some time, I hope. The size isn't a problem. I have a very fat internet pipe here, and ways of compressing them.

I'll get in touch if I have any problems.

... And, nice panorama. I'm definitely going to use it, but not sure how.

Tell, me, and I'm not asking you to go back, what's the view like to the North?

thank you thank you.

the view to the north is a lot less...3d. it just tails off into low-lying north london housing, dotted by the occasional tower block. quasi-suburbia. fairly unremarkable.

essentially, the southern view is so extremely better, that i couldn't even remember looking to the north distinctly, and had to ask co-observer to help me answer that inquiry.

Eventually... I got them up yesterday. By the way, mirrorgirl, if you want your real name used for the copyright or the credits, you'll have to tell me what it is!

You can view the site here. The Bibendum, Primrose Hill and London View items cover the new photos. I set up the composite panorama as a free-standing "page", branched from the London View page.

OK The Pattern Recognition Locations Website is now even better than before. It lacks, however, anything relevant on Poole, Dorset or New York, NY . Any offers?

Crumbs... Just discovered that the site headings don't work in Mozilla. What a crock... Just give me a minute...

That's a really fine site.
I like Bibendum's pic Smile

I regret not having the possibility to picture Paris' future location from Count Zero.

New Photos for Poole up on the F:F:F site. I worked in Poole for a while, commuting by car from Farnham to the Barclays Bank International building (the most prominent landmark in Poole). That was, what, fifteen years ago, and I enjoyed the job because it involved a lot of international travel. I think they must have moved the roads around, and demolished everything but the Barclays building since I was last there, because it was NOTHING LIKE I REMEMBER. Weird.

I want to thank Sentinel S400 for taking us on a PR tour (although we picked Damien a different appartment, further from Camden High Street).

Without him I would never have visited Camden Lock and Camden Market. And a location in Camden Lock I suspect WG may know about, even if it does not appear in PR and does not fit him:

Absolutely.
And I´d appreciate any other photos, particularly of New York and Moscow.

I´m re-reading PR, and have discovered a number of errors in the F:F:F site. I´ll be putting these right pretty soon.

Actually, gil, I was referring to the board's automatic archiving of threads not recently posted on.

Unless you'd like to be referred to as "thou archiving beast" from here on?

OK, two minor things that are bothering me since oneof the reasons I relate to this story so much is because I am a person who travels often to all the places in PR.

#1 - you really don't fly over an ocean between London and Tokyo unless you call the white expanse of the far northern artic an ocean. Better to say that you travel over the Nothern Finland and Siberia.

#2 - could you REALLY see the Twin Towers from the 8th floor of the Soho Grand? As far as I know you cannot, first because there are about 300 buildings much higher than 8 stories between them and second, because most of the south facing rooms in the Soho Grand face another building right next to it....

There, I said it. Now I feel better. On to the next chapters - lol

Actually, I have a couple of photos that could be appropiate from my last trip. I just forgot about them.



This was Sentinel 400's choice for Damien's Apartment, and I think it is a bit further away from Camden High and on the other side of Parkway. We liked it.

And then , the terrible sight dominating the end portion of Portobello Road.



Shock and awe, British architecture style.
