Description: This book enables us to share a privileged Olympian perspective of this glorious land. No worm's-eye view can capture the panoramic grandeur that aerial photography can convey -- the contours of the earth, the layout of a whole city with its interesting streets and pre-eminent structures, or the architectural plan of ancient buildings. This book -- the author/photographer's celebration of twenty years of aerial photography of Jordan -- celebrates too the changing colours of the seasons, from the green of spring to the rich browns and ochres of summer, autumn and winter. It is a tribute not only to a land of outstanding beauty and fascinating history, but to the warmth and generosity of the Jordanian people.
