I remember thinking that it must have been a lot of fun to take the pictures for that book. Last night, I had the chance to ride along on a flight around Whitehorse and the Fish Lake area. Here is my version of "Earth from Above: 365 Days", which I shall call "Whitehorse from Above: One Evening".

Those photos are fantastic!
I love the way aerial photos make the world abstract. (We have the Earth from the Air book and turn over a page each day.)
