Liking the pano format in No1.
No3 may suit that style too.
It is indeed a place of solitude, thought and remembering, I popped in a few times as a day away from Wyton.

Went there years ago, a tremendously peaceful place, but it is hard not to be overwhelmed by the scale of the losses, their ages, their stories. Beautiful pictures, thank you :)
