Patchwork Cement Shoelace by The Gigapanographer Currently Known as "Kilgore661"

Ahh, the green fields of England - with a dirty great cement works smack bang in the middle ...

This pano is taken from just above one of Wiltshire's White Horses - large figures cut through the turf exposing the chalk below, leading to a figure you can see for miles.

Update: You can actually see two of these horses (including the one here) from Bath on an exceptionally clear day. You can't see Bath in this photo but to see here from Bath see http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=24815&snapshot_id=75061.

Updated update: see http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/49032/ for a clearer but smaller version of this image in which you can see Bath - 12 miles as the crow flies.

Cmlbath has taken a small gigapan that shows some of the view and the horse: http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=26632.

For a closeup of the works, see http://www.gigapan.org/viewGigapan.php?id=10255.
