GP19 Park Street Bristol from the top of The Wills Memorial Building 1 by Keith Rodgerson

This shot from the top of the Wills Memorial building is a first test of panoramas from this location. In the perfect world I'd do a 360 degree from the centre of the tower (as in my test from a 4 metre pole) but as the top of the tower is very wide (15m I think) I'd need a very tall support for the camera to enable me to see the ground below over the castellations.. Instead of that I plan to do the surrounding view in four sections. This first one is looking south . I was under time pressure during a public tour of the tower but hope to get more time in the future. The tower was built in 1926 and is part of Bristol University. See small inset shot from a distance.
