Mountains & Panoramics

As I grew a up in a mountain lodge my grandpa built up in the Allgäu, mountain landscapes have always been part of my life. Interactive panoramics fascinated me since I saw the first one on my PC.

Mountainpanoramas.com

When panoramics developed from small boxes to full screen presentations I decided to realize the project I had in mind for years: Mountainpanoramas. This is my contribution to the alpine web.
