  3. To provide a set of images so that I can utilise for interactive (VR – virtual reality) tours<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For the first part, I am trying different views to see what works and what doesn’t. This image was taken from a corner of the garden looking roughly north. The sun was to the left but not close enough to intrude on the view. This covers an angle of about 100-120 degrees.<\/p>\n
