Aerial road photos from Arizona
Hi Viatologists,
What makes road photography mundane is the overwhelming (and superfluous) amount of ground-level photographs. Almost every website that focuses on road photography takes snaps from the ground, not the air. That's quite unfortunate because a wider view of a highway can be taken from a private jet. In doing so, the road photographer has the ability to cover entire cities or urban areas whilst reamining focused on the "main drag". The Worldwide Transportation Library (WWTL) has recently finished an aerial journey of south-central Arizona, offering some views you may not have seen befo http://wwtl.info/tmp/2911-02/ (Beginning of Loop Route 303 in Goodyear, AZ) http://wwtl.info/tmp/2911-03/ (US Federal Route 60 in Wenden, AZ) Route 303 can best be described as a project in the works. Once complete, it will serve as the outer belt for the northern and western regions of Phoenix. Today, the route is predominantly boulevard-standard, having stoplights at most high-traffic intersections. The latter photograph --US Federal Route 60-- is distinctive because Google Maps, a provider of satellite imagery, can't even zoom into as much detail! This truly shows the cutting edge developments of the Worldwide Transportation Library. If Google can't keep up, then who can? Answer: the WWTL! Cheers, Carl Rogers "Environment first, transportology second" ******** Worldwide Transportation Library (WWTL): http://wwtl.info ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Complete coverage of international roads and railways.
