Wow. Did you take these from an airplane or a helicopter?

Great photos! I especially enjoyed the Queens photo, which I recognize as Forest Hills, right off Queens Blvd. around 99th Street. I lived in FH as a little kid in the 1960s and have fond memories. Those buildings pretty much look the same as they did 40 years ago. Thanks again!

Wow, I can't believe that you took those from an airplane. The quality is amazing.

Absolutely stunning. The white building to the left of the Prospect Park photos...could that be the Brooklyn Museum?
Posted by: Robin at April 5, 2005 02:21 PM
Actually, it's the Brooklyn Public Library. The Museum would be a quarter-mile or so past it.

I don't know the area...but that one of prospect park looks like a battleground. At least from the air.
Fascinating. Maybe you'll start a new trend.

That's the Long Meadow, but I think it was involved in the Battle of Long Island, a.k.a. Battle of Brooklyn, August 1776.
In brief, Washington and his army retreated through Brooklyn for a week then escaped across the river to Manhattan.
