Hawkes Eye View: London

Synopsis

Jason Hawkes, Britain's leading aerial photographer, has been taking to the skies with his camera for more than fifteen years. In this, his latest collection of aerial photographs, has trained his camera on the familiar and less familiar parts of London. Familiar parts of the city take on a new dimension when viewed from above, and this book lets you see landmarks as you've never seen them before. Photographs are accompanied by informative text from leading travel writer Donna Dailey. Donna has written several books on London and gives each picture an extra dimension with an extended caption. In the five features she gives greater detail on certain aspects of England's capital, namely Village London, London as a world capital, how the city grew, the city's green spaces and finally, its modern architecture.
