Review & Description
- Remarkable scenery from just 500 feet above the ground. - Provides readers with an incredible photographic look at nature.Photographer Bill Fortney and his son Wesley, in a very personal journey, embarked across the country and recorded incredible vistas from the air. In America from 500 Feet! the duo used a variety of flying devices, including souped-up hang gliders called ultralights, tiny Cessna planes, and helicopters to hover above the ground and produce majestic landscapes. For Fortney, flying was a lifelong dream, and this collection of images is a pinnacle of his artistic achievements. Luscious ocean views from California, dramatic multicolored canyons in the Southwest, and the idyllic coastal towns of the East highlight America's boundless panoramas. Fortney includes a brief commentary on each of the photographs, plus an essay on the undertaking of the project. It is always uplifting to be reminded of the natural splendor of this country, and this book serves as a testament to the importance of our national parks. If you're looking for inspiration to take that trip across the country, this could be it. --J.P. Cohen Read more
