If you are patient enough for the panorama to load (1.42MB; need free Quicktime player?), you’ll see a view from the northern foothills looking south towards Kingston harbour. You can move the panorama using the controls indicated in the bar at the bottom, or just click and drag the image around. You may also notice in

The opening match of the Cricket World Cup (CWC) 2007 takes place on Tuesday 13 March, at Sabina Park, here in Kingston. Throughout the last year, the complaints and criticisms of the organization of the event have dominated all discussions about the World Cup — lack of Internet access for pre-booking tickets, closure of public roads

The first item on the 8 o’clock news on CVM TV this evening was the parliamentary committee debate on the Offences Against the Person Act, in particular, marital rape. This might seem like old news in other parts of the world, but here in Jamaica, there remain laws left over from Victorian times that are only

With odds of 7 to 1, you might be surprised by a minor relookage, as the French say, in the form of a new header image. The odds come from a random image rotator, scripted by PhotoMatt, drawing on seven different header images.

Thanks for this one. Long time I haven’t seen my old stamping grounds. Hey, how exectly do you do this? Get the panorama picture, I mean? Email me and tell me or give URLS to instructions nuh?
wow nice panorama pic.. you even took the time to label a lot of the land marks!
Panos!
Sweetness!
:-D

My ambition is to do 360° panos, but for that I would have to have a tripod, which, given these straitened times, will be stuck in my wishlist for the foreseeable future.

Comments appreciated.

Really hot stuff… Ah gwine link it.
Is Long Mountain or Beverley Hills yuh tek that picture from?
nah I can see Beverly Hills in that pic so it should be up Mountain spring or Jacks Hills.
I was on Sunset Avenue, heading down. If you want to see the spot on Google Earth, the coordinates are
18°02’52.58″ N 76° 46’10.76″ W
… approximately ;-D
A GPS is another thing on my wishlist.
I used to live at this place. 17 mountain spring drive…Iused to see this everyday growing up
