Aerial Photography San Francisco Toward Transamerica Fog — Fog rolling in over San Francisco ensures constantly and rapidly changing aerial views of the city. This aerial photograph shows the patches of fog at the leading edge of the bank moving in over San Francisco in the early afternoon. Some patches of fog already obscure parts of North Beach and much of San Francisco's financial district, though Coit Tower and some of the Embarcadero and Transamerica pyramid are still visible in this aerial perspective looking down Columbus Avenue.

Historical Aerial Photography: Then and Now Comparisons | Manhattan

June 8, 2011 June 22, 2013 / By Herb Lingl / Aerial Photographs, Historical Aerial Photography

Historical Aerial Photography Comparison New York City 1954 2009 — The Hudson river shoreline of Manhattan changed dramatically during the last five decades. The two historical aerial photographs illustrate the amount of change that has occurred at this portion of Manhattan between 1954 and 2009. As the 1954 historical aerial photograph shows, the piers along the Hudson river were still actively used at that time. Eventually, shipping activity shifted to the New Jersey side of the Hudson river. In 1973 what were once Piers 1 through 21 were buried under landfill from the World Trade Center construction project and became Battery Park City. The ongoing construction of the new World Trade Center buildings ensures that this portion of Manhattan will continue to change significantly in the near term.

Historical Aerial Photography of Las Vegas

June 2, 2011 June 22, 2013 / By Herb Lingl / Historical Aerial Photography

Historical Aerial Photography Las Vegas 1973 and 2010 — These two historical aerial photographs show how much Las Vegas, Nevada has changed during several decades of very rapid growth, multiplying its size several fold during those years. The historical aerial photograph on the top was acquired in 1973 and the aerial on the bottom is a mosaic of photographs acquired in 2010. The city has expanded into the adjacent desert with particularly strong growth in the western portion of the city. High resolution aerial photography of sections of the city also show on a more detailed scale how rapidly certain portions of Las Vegas have changed during very short periods of time. Particularly dramatic are the changes during the 1990s in the northwestern portion of the city.

Aerial Photography of Geothermal Power Plants

May 25, 2011 June 22, 2013 / By Herb Lingl / Aerial Photography

Aerial photography steam Geysers geothermal power plants — Steam rises from numerous geothermal power plants which are part of the Geysers complex, the largest geothermal complex in the world. Twenty two geothermal power plants draw steam from more than 350 wells. Seismic and gravity studies indicate that the source of the heat for the geothermal power plants is a magma chamber over 8 miles in diameter and 4 miles underground. Calpine Corporation owns and operates 19 of the active geothermal power plants. Electrical production from the Geysers geothermal power plants peaked in 1987 and has declined since then as the underground water source gradually declines. Research and development of new geothermal power technologies called enhanced geothermal systems do not require convective hydrothermal resources and are expected to increase power output from the Geysers geothermal complex in the future.

High Resolution Satellite Imagery of China

May 18, 2011 June 22, 2013 / By Herb Lingl / Satellite Imagery

Satellite Imagery Ningbo China — This high resolution satellite image documents the edge of development in Ningbo, one of China's oldest cities. While it has an ancient history, Ningbo's economy is growing rapidly. High resolution satellite imagery is proving to be an exceptionally useful tool in China, because of its vast size, the rapid changes taking place and the more limited availability of airborne imaging. Atmospheric visibility issues can further stretch out the time frames for projects relying on acquiring new imagery. That's why an archive of existing, high resolution, cloud free, recent satellite imagery of China can be invaluable. Aerial Archives provides its US clients access to DigitalGlobe's large archive of high resolution satellite imagery of China which includes recent imagery of over 150 of China's largest cities.

Aerial Photography of San Francisco Architecture

May 10, 2011 June 22, 2013 / By Herb Lingl / Aerial Photographs

Aerial Photography San Francisco Architecture | buildings with numerous different architectural styles — Many different styles of San Francisco architecture are shown in this aerial photograph of a portion of the financial district. At the left in the foreground is 140 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco's first skyscraper. Built in the art deco architectural style, 140 New Montgomery served as an office building for over 80 years until it was converted into residential condominiums. Directly behind 140 New Montgomery is 33 New Montgomery Street, a 20 story high rise office building designed in the post-modern architectural style. The building wraps around the Bank of America Building at 623 Market Street, which is not as tall and not visible in this aerial photograph. Prominent features of 33 New Montgomery Street are the large clock tower and spike at the top of the building. Directly behind 33 New Montgomery Street is the Hunter-Dulin Building, located at 111 Sutter Street. Built in a Renaissance revival architectural style, this 308 foot high rise is San Francisco's only building with Romanesque and French Chateau ornamentation. Directly to the right of 33 New Montgomery Street in this aerial photograph is the Hobart Building designed by John Willis, San Francisco's leading architect during the rebuilding of San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake and fire. Designed in the beaux-arts classical revival architectural style with Renaissance/Baroque ornamentation, the building was completed in less than one year. Serving as a background to the Hobart building is 44 Montgomery Street, a modernist 43 floor high rise designed by architects John Graham and Associates. To the right of 44 Montgomery Street is 595 Market Street, another skyscraper designed in the modernist architectural style by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. Just a very small portion of the post modern style KPMG Building, 55 Second Street, is visible on the far right portion of the frame of this aerial photograph.
