Denemouth Panoramas

Folks
Here are a few HDR panoramas of Denemouth in County Durham. Denemouth is the head of Castle Eden Dene, the largest dene in the UK and a designated area of Special Scientific Interest. It's also a beautiful area of Durham's coast and I'm lucky enough to live a short walk away. Considering that this area was once the site of the largest coal mine in Europe, the way that Mother Nature has begun to reclaim the area is amazing.
The beaches are still littered with waste from the mines to a depth of over five feet that run for miles along the beaches. Slowly, the sea is eroding this waste and Denemouth itself will become a salt marsh again within the next 100 years. Meanwhile, we get views like this.
Enjoy, and comment as you see fit :D

Thank you!
That's Horden Viaduct, part of the train line that runs from Hartlepool to Sunderland. It stands around 50m in height. It is a nice subject but it's tricky to get right. One side is dense woodland and the other is marred by a pumping station that keeps the foundations clear of the water running down the dene.
BTW, it's Chas not Chris :D
