How to yield similar results (How was this pano taken?)

Hey all,
Im just simply in aw with this panorama: homepage.ntlworld.com/j.houghton/barf5.htm
Firstly, how was the camera situated in this way? I mean, its floating over the edge of the bridge. I'd love to do something similar, it really gives this a nice, almost sereal look.
Secondly, was this panorama shot with HDR techniques? Everything is exposed so beautifully, and yet, it isn't too over the top as many hdr ones tend to be. Especially the sky, it is simply perfect. How was this done?
Thankyou all so much in advance 
-Nick

Nick, Thanks for the kind comments. The shot was not planned and was taken on the spur of the moment with a hand held 20D + Sigma 8mm f/3.5. I just stretched my arms over the rail and rotated the camera as best I could. The camera was used in portrait orientation, but the wide stretch of tumbling water was patched in from a single landscape shot. I took a couple of shots pointing towards me, standing first to one side and then the other. Of course, there was chronic parallax that needed correcting in Photoshop. I used exposure bracketing and merged the images manually.
It's not a technique I would recommend! Mounting the camera on the end of a pole would be easier.
John
