Introduction
For years I have been witness to many changes along the Chesapeake Bay, some natural while others not. Natural shorelines are always changing, influenced by the seasons, currents & waves and not too long ago, the ice flow. The shapes they create have always intrigued me, so I share a few of them with you here as a representative of Mother Nature's Art Gallery. My goal for this book of 40 aerial images of the Bay's shorelines is to inspire your imagination and introduce you to some unusual beauty that can only be captured from above. I also hope that you will not only be inspired by these thought provoking images, but to consider participating in some way to help make reasonable and logical changes to prevent the health of the Chesapeake Bay from further decline. I am convinced that the very limited enforcement capabilities of the various agencies and the politically oriented decisions of our courts have only provided the media with sufficient hype to convince the public that the health of the Bay is acceptable. From my aerial view point, this is certainly not the case.
As you explore this collection, notice that there are several images that show the same location but several years apart, for example pages 2, 5, 7 & 9 are the same shoreline years apart. See any changes? What would think caused these changes? How do you think it will look in another 5 years?
I have included an index of all these 40 images towards the end of the book. This index gives the GPS coordinates and my suggestions of the shapes that I see for each image, and room for you to jot down your ideas too. You can use Goggle Earth to find out where these shorelines are located along the Bay by simply entering the coordinates into the search window then click 'Search'. When entering the coordinates you can hit 'space' once instead of the ° symbol, or use it (Alt. 0176).
These images are available as prints of different sizes. To order, use the QR code or go to http://aloft.zenfolio.com/chesapeakeshorelines.
I would enjoy hearing from you what shapes and monsters you discover in these images.... Please let me know!
Have a great time!
