Sometimes aerial photography over cities bores me. It tends to look the same. Not the photos in this book. It's like taking an air cruise over D.C., the cities bordering D.C., and some countryside in Maryland and Virginia. Many featured buildings and parks are understated--I certainly didn't know Mormons built such regal temples. This makes for a great display book for a living room. ( )

This is a beautiful coffee table book. I found it at a book fair and what I like about it is that the photos are from the 70s and some of those buildings are no longer there. ( )
