December 31, 2007 "Ending the Year with a Bang"
We arrived after the explosion that caused this dramatic
fire and billowing smoke (thankfully!) but the evidence is
clear that it was a powerful one. A crumpled green storage
tank can be seen in the upper left corner of the photo
across the road and several hundred feet away from where it
once stood... Luckily, there were no reports of any
injuries. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |

December 24-30, 2007 "New Ohio Union"
The Ohio State University has begun construction on a new
student union. The Ohio Union will face High Street on the
east edge of campus. "The Oval" is visible in the
upper right of the photo. At the top of The Oval (the west
end...) sits the library - which appears to be undergoing
some remodeling itself. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
December 17-23, 2007 "Cold Water, Cold Skies"
The wide white snow bands around this lake are due to the
low water levels brought on by the drought in the midwest
this past summer. There is no vegetation for the snow to
"hide" in, making it appear smooth and bright.

December 10-16, 2007 "Closed for the Season"
The boats have been pulled out and the marina has closed
for the winter. It's time to think about ice skating and
hot chocolate - not water skiing and frozen drinks! Don't
worry though, the days are going to start getting longer
again soon! Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
December 3-9, 2007 "Only How Many Days Left?"
Retailers are keeping busy this time of year. Parking lots
are full and checkout lines are long. Get in early and
often for the best selection and the best sales! Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
November 26 - December 2, 2007 "The Weather Outside..."
The days are getting shorter and the weather is turning
cold. Maybe this view of a nice green golf course is in
more of your dreams than sugar plums? Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |

November 19-25, 2007 "Triple Play"
The long shadows of late fall and a very still river gave
us a rare view of this bridge in triplicate. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
November 12-18, 2007 "Lonely Boat"
Generally, we don't like to take pictures into the sun, but
in this case, it gives the picture a whole bunch of
interesting texture. The light bounces off the ripples of a
calm Lake Erie and the wake of the freighter "John G
Munson" of the Great Lakes Fleet as it passes near
South Bass Island to give us the effect. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
November 5-11, 2007 "Prepare to Shop!"
If only you could reserve your parking place now! With the
holiday season just around the corner, the parking lots at
retail shopping centers and restaurants like these near
Pittsburgh are going to be much more full. "Black
Friday" (the day after Thanksgiving) is less than 3
weeks away... Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
October 29 - November 4, 2007 "Color, Color Everywhere"
This is Meander Creek Reservoir, just west of Youngstown,
Ohio. This photo was taken near the peak of fall color at
the end of October. The town of Mineral Ridge is on the
right (east) side of the picture. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
October 22-28, 2007 "Bird's Eye View"
Part of flying is being aware of your surroundings. You
always have to be on the lookout for other air traffic -
whether they have a propeller or feathers. We see birds
quite often, but it is rare to get a "bird's eye
view" of a bald eagle! Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
October 15-21, 2007 "Downtown Motown"
Downtown Detroit, Michigan, lies on the west side of the
Detroit River. On the east side lies Windsor, Ontario,
Canada. Connecting the two is the Ambassador Bridge - an
impressive structure with an interesting history. Belle Isle, a
983-acre island and "crown jewel of Detroit's public
park system," is visible towards the top-right corner
of the photo. More information about Belle Isle can be
found here. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
October 8-14, 2007 "Flashes Country"
The Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, features several
unique buildings on its beautiful campus. The distinctive
blue track stands out from the air - I just hope they never
make the football field turf blue like that school out
west... (The football stadium is not shown in this picture,
but we do have photographs of it...) Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |

October 1-7, 2007 "For Sale By Owner"
Anyone want to buy a roller coaster? Geauga Lake amusement
park near Aurora, Ohio, recently announced that they will
become a water park attaction exclusively. "Wildwater
Kingdom" is not shown in this picture (but we do have
photos of it!), but according to Geauga Lake's
official website, it has become the favorite part of
the park for visitors. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |

September 24-30, 2007 "Monumental Island"
Put-In-Bay, Ohio, is located on South Bass Island in Lake
Erie and is a popular summer resort destination. The main
landmark on the island is Perry's Victory and International
Peace Memorial. The monument commemorates the Battle of
Lake Erie fought during the War of 1812. For more

September 17-23, 2007 "Where Spiderman Lives?"
Some towns have a more distinct center than others.
Tallmadge, Ohio, is definitely one of those towns. The
Reverend David Bacon founded Tallmadge in 1807 and laid out
the "hub and spoke" system as was typical in the
early 19th century. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |

September 10-16, 2007 "Four Score and Seven Years Ago..."
This is not just scenic countryside - this is Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania, the site of the pivotal Civl War battle
fought on July 1-3, 1863. In the foreground are Devil's Den
and Little Round Top. Moving towards the town of Gettysburg
to the north, you can see the Pennsylvania Memorial. Click here to open a pdf map from the U.S.
National Park Service to help you pick out more landmarks

September 3-9, 2007 "The Need for Speed"
The Mid-Ohio
Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio, is as
challenging as it is beautiful. It is a favorite natural
terrain road course among drivers from many different
racing series. On July 29, 2007, open wheel racing returned
to Mid-Ohio after a several year hiatus. A record crowd
witnessed Scott Dixon win over 2007 Indianapolis 500 winner
and eventual 2007 IndyCar series champion Dario Franchitti.

August 27 - September 2, 2007 "Buckeye Country"
College football is back this weekend! In the full
resolution version of this photo of Ohio Stadium in
Columbus, Ohio, not only can you see the Buckeyes'
offensive and defensive formations during an inter-squad
scrimmage, but you can easily count the spectators in the
stands. (We're sorry, but the full res version is not for
sale to customers in Ann Arbor until December!) Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |

August 20-26, 2007 "Capitol City"

offers a nice green oasis in the midst of the downtown
high-rises. Just a block and a half away to the west is the
Scioto River. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
August 13-19, 2007 "Curves and Lines"
Huge train yards such as this one near Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, look really cool from the air. You can almost
understand what all of those switches and signals are doing
from this unique perspective. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
August 6-12, 2007 "Shrine"
The Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio, is busy with
activity prior to the 2007 induction ceremony. The stage
was set in Fawcett Stadium for the ceremony on Saturday
evening. By 8 pm Sunday night, however, the stage and field
seating had all been removed for the Hall of Fame Game,
which featured the Steelers and the Saints this year. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
July 30 - Aug 5, 2007 "Slip and Slide for Safety"
Much bigger than a track built for racing, this tire
testing facility features long straight-a-ways, a variety
of wide turns, and a huge concrete apron that can be
flooded with water (as seen here - the tiny dot you see is
an SUV) to simulate the somewhat less exciting driving that
most of us experience day to day. Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |
|
July 23-29, 2007 "Rubber City"

|
July 2-8, 2007 "Watch Out for Giant Bears"
Planning a Forth of July Picnic? You could fit a real feast
into the 7-story building that is the World's Largest
Basket. It is an unusual site from any perspective, but
from the air, it's almost surreal! Click picture to enlarge. You may have to temporarily disable pop-up blocking. |

May 28
"Slow Moving Vehicle" Ohio has a very large Amish population. Seeing a horse and buggy from a 230-horsepower airplane always seems a bit odd. Another name for this photo could have been "Same Planet, Different World". |
