Dee Estuary Panorama

The story behind this video

This is me playing around, thinking of alternative ways to show off what amounts to a nearly 180 degree view of the estuary of the river Dee at dusk.

The video pans you from left to right (west to east), hence the scene gets darker the further east you look.

The view starts with the new gas fired power station, follows the road up and over the QE2 suspension bridge and on to the Tata steel works at Shotton.

This is definately the best time of day for viewing this scene, with the natural and artificial lights nicely balanced.

The video also includes a backing track composed and played on the guitar by my son Andy.
