Aerial Photographs
James S. and Susan W. Aber

The following aerial photographs illustrate various urban and rural subjects throughout the yearly change of seasons. Many examples are drawn from Kansas, and many other states and European countries are well represented. Some of these pictures were prepared by scanning color-slide film at 400 or 600 dpi, followed by some cropping and enhancement of the images. Starting in 2001 an increasing number of pictures were acquired with digital cameras, and since 2005 nearly all photographs are digital. All images © by the authors, James S. and Susan W. Aber, except where noted otherwise; all rights reserved.
