Title: Aerial Photo Taken Around My House Recently
Post by: Henry on August 30, 2011, 07:56:44 AM

Phil Ploof from Georgia has a small remote controlled airplane with which he takes some fantastic photos from the sky.  He e-mailed me several that he took around my place.  They are low resolution photos and he is mailing me some high resolution ones.  I plan to print some out when I receive it.  I have put the names of the people who live in the houses around mine so you can identify them.  Click on the following link to view if you wish:

This is a friend of mine in Georgia and I do not believe he sells his photos.  He is a very sharp young man and The St. Albans Messenger had an article on him a few years back.  I may even have a copy of it here on the forum.  Will see if I can find it and link it here.
