The panorama was difficult. The focus was locked but the result was due mainly to the fading light. The sun had gone and it was getting darker by the second. Not my best attempt, but my only attempt.
Walking with 2 sticks and a gammy leg, struggling to balance and stand still taking photos with camera on side (which I usually do) was not an easy option. However thanks for the advice.
