The Pagoda at Kew Gardens has just been renovated and it is now possible for the first time in many years to climb up the 250-odd stairs to the top floor and look out of the windows there.

I went up there last Friday and managed to get a view from all the windows to stitch into a 360 degree angle

The snaps below are clickable inside the image once for a slightly larger image and twice for a very large image where you can see the skyscrapers of the City of London and Canary Wharf and the arch of Wembley Stadium if you search using the scroll bars

, trees still look well, grass less so. But more patches of green than I would have thought, parts of Devon are pretty much as frazzled.

Well done to match up the exposures forstitching. Must go up and try the view some time
