Not a clue... did it look like that in the non stitched shots? I would have guessed it was caused by the stitching software...

When I do black and white conversions I sometimes get horrible stepped contours of tone in the sky, but nothing like this!

Wow, that building (chapel? lighthouse?) is so dwarfed by its surroundings!

Ditto all the above

Good topic, Judith Ann.

No one's mentioned what would happen if a floor gave way, if you trod on a spike, or if a wall collapsed onto you...

There is an element of risk to exploring a derelict building... that's part of the enjoyment. Need to be sensible while accepting a bit of risk makes life a bit more... vivid.

While I think you need to be careful, it is not the case that a low level exposure to asbestos will inevitably lead to cancer. There are asbestos fibres in the air all around us all the time. Your friend presumably entered a room which was full of asbestos dust in the air? Even so I bet it would be hard to pin his asbestos-related cancer on that single event.

Then that's supply and demand... Apple have successfully predicted the demand for their product and priced it accordingly. If demand was lower than expected Apple could consider reducing the price, or reducing supply (making it a niche item for the die-hards).

John can't make assumptions about your level of knowledge. He doesn't know you so don't feel patronised.

But as you say, with two other users having similar results, perhaps there is a bug somewhere. If that's the case we need it out in the open and not brushed aside. But - as John is trying to do - lets eliminate all other possible sources of error first.

Panamoz claim to include any import duty within the price. However I found that although I was able to put it in my basket and complete the checkout, the item I wanted (a 21mm Ltd) wasn't in stock. They refunded me of course. I'm guessing they import the items to order, and they realised they couldn't supply it at the quoted price! It did seem too good a deal to be true...

If you are in any doubt, contact the company for confirmation of their t&cs.

It's up to the individual to make an informed choice about the level of risk he's willing to take. And that includes Andrew so don't feel bad Gareth. Personally I don't think a one-off visit to a building which may contain exposed asbestos is a critical risk... although I would feel safer wearing a mask - if you were working in the building it would be another matter!

We have probably all been exposed to a little bit of asbestos at some point in the past - we still inhabit buildings that contain it, and in the past, there was a lot less caution about asbestos. I distinctly remember playing with asbestos-concrete sheeting as a child...
