Another epic view
posted by John Davies at 7:39 PM
Another epic view... this time aerial photgraphy courtesy of Get Mapping whose England: Photographic Atlas was a wonderful surprise present today from Pete and Linda.
It's been on my Wish List since I first came across it in Jim Hart's flat (see 4 July blog), a very large, very heavy, and deeply fascinating survey of every inch of England, taken from a few hundred feet up. A Millennium project, a sort of Domesday Book for today.
There's a link between the atlas' creators and Multimap which means that you can locate an aerial view of anywhere in England online by going through their map search. Which is how I got the above image - like yesterday's, flipped ninety degrees: London at the Greenwich axis.
