Panorama Pictures. This is a virtual album pointing to all 43 of the panorama pictures from my 2007 trip to six of the Turks & Caicos islands. They are in the order taken, so the Provo pictures are split into my three visits to the island. All stitched using PTgui.

14 Salt-Cay-2007/0012 A panorama from the ridge inland from Little Bluff Lookout looking at town with the [name?] pond in front. Behind is an overly tall house built by an owner that used trickery to get it approved.
Salt Cay 2007
15 Salt-Cay-2007/0016 The Windmills Plantation on North Beach. You'll have to scroll for this one.
Salt Cay 2007
16 Salt-Cay-2007/0025 A panorama of the Town Salinas. Taken standing just north of St. John's. Taylor Hill is the bump in the distance.
Salt Cay 2007

19 Grand-Turk-2007/0010 A panorama from the top of Colonel Murray's Hill. The highest point on the island. This was the location of the US missile-tracking station, now a ruin. Of course, with the dump in front, this view isn't the prettiest.
Grand Turk 2007
20 Grand-Turk-2007/0011 A panorama from a platform along Lighthouse Rd. This is the future site of the Sailview Resort. Looking west over North Creek.
Grand Turk 2007
21 Grand-Turk-2007/0049 A panorama of the plaza at the cruise ship center. This "tourism village" was designed to look like a Bermudian salt-rakers' settlement from the early 19th century. No cruise ship this Tuesday.
Grand Turk 2007
22 Grand-Turk-2007/0050 Another panorama of the plaza at the cruise ship center. This one with a Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville, his largest. I gather many cruise ship passengers simply spend their entire day on the island in this complex.
Grand Turk 2007
23 Grand-Turk-2007/0052 A panorama from Gun Hill. This is the second highest elevation on Grand Turk. In the early 1780s a small fortification with two cannons was built at this site by the English governor for protection against French invasion. The French did not attack immediately and the fort was dismantled. Most of the rocks were taken away for use in other building projects on the island, though the foundation rocks can still be seen.
If you look to the far right you can first see Gibbs Cay and then Long Cay.
Grand Turk 2007
24 Grand-Turk-2007/0053 A panorama of Great Salina. I did not go across to what would be the South Creek National Park. It looked kind of industrial. I later learned that building in the distance is "Sitting Pretty" H.M.S. Prison, and the national park is behind it.
Grand Turk 2007
25 South-Caicos-2007/0005 A panorama from atop a crane by East Bay. As you can see all the salinas are flooded. You can see telephone poles and no road. This has been a week since the rain and it has gone down some. (See higher level marks along right.) Atop the highest hill is the old commissioner's house.
South Caicos 2007
26 South-Caicos-2007/0010 A panorama of the flooded salinas from the old commissioner's house. The yellow crane I was standing on is off to the far right.

38 North-Caicos-2007/0029 A morning panorama of Flamingo Pond.
North Caicos 2007
39 Provo-2007/0047 I'm now back on Provo for my third time. This is The Hole (a deep water hole) on Sea Sage Hill Road in Long Bay Hills. To get it wider I stitched together two pictures.
