A new suite of pages has been added to this website to highlight gigapan panoramas taken in Salisbury (click here). These high-resolution panoramic photographs can be explored by us and by the world to find details about the environments and communities of Salisbury. The new pages present maps and text with the gigapans to provide new understanding of the images and of the town.
Lake Dunmore and four details of the high-resolution gigapan of this scene.
Eight gigapans of the Salisbury Town Forest illustrate the major forest types on that property. Seven gigapans of the Moosalamoo – Dunmore area are views from lofty overlooks and each is accompanied by a short list of details to look for while exploring the scene. It will be a challenge for anyone to find every item on any of the lists, but those who know this landscape should do well. Enjoyable viewing of these panoramas requires a broadband internet connection.
Every gigapan page has a link which will bring you back to this page if you would like to post a comment below about the panoramas. And let me know if you can think of good subjects in town for additional gigapans. I hope to add more, especially from the western part of town.
Chris,
What a fantastic job! I have found a dozen or so hidden texts but I’m sure there are more. I found a puzzle on one but it might not be the one you were thinking of. I did wonder about the one shot showing the Salisbury Town Forest as I didn’t think it was that far to the east. After the leaves fall, could you get some shots from Dyer Hill?

Hi Martha,
The town forest extends a little to the east of the peak of Bryant Mountain, although the peak itself is not on the property. The eastern border of the property is where the old hemlocks are. I am intrigued by the puzzle you found. Did you solve it? I think Dyer Hill has too many trees on the top to allow a vista. Unless John and Brennan build a lookout tower up there, gigapans on the west side of town will not include as much landscape as the ones around Lake Dunmore.
Chris
I have spent several delightful hours viewing these panoramas and reading the accompanying text. It is brilliant.
I especially need to remark on the “treasure view” hunts incorporated into the project, and congratulate and applaud the individual whose passion and interest in our town brought this to our screens.
A special thank you for the inclusion of the notation on the Kelsey Homestead and the memorium.

Mary Anne,
I am pleased that you enjoyed the panoramas. You are the first ever to report finding one of the hidden messages. Congratulations.
Thanks, Chris
