Friday Foto is for Flying over Frederick

I had the opportunity to take a helicopter ride over our lovely city. The experience was far from what I remember when I was in the service flying in the back of a Chinook at tree top heights around Germany. I am not the fondest of heights, but I was over taken by excitement to get up and take some aerial photos of the city. It was more like flying in a soft top Jeep. I was shoulder to shoulder with the pilot. Any time I turned to the left to take a shot out the door, I was out the door. It’s not like this is the most sophisticated of machinery. The seatbelt was not that like a race car driver with 5-point attachment system only a cheesy 3-point lap belt system like in your car, but imagine a little more flimsy. Well, I did survive and I didn’t get sick. Here’s a collage of some of the shots that I managed to get while hoovering a few hundred feet above the Spires.
You can see more photos on my gallery page where you can order prints as well.
