Royal Britain From The Air by Aerial Images

Looking down the cameraman's lense, this book provides a view of the historic buildings and landscapes which represent Britain's royal heritage. Jason Hawkes, the photographer, has spent the last year flying by helicopter over the country, searching for places with historic royal associations and recording them in evocative compositions. The royal palaces - Windsor Castle, Balmoral, Buckingham Palace and others - are seen from a view the public don't normally see. The great churches and cathedrals - St Paul's, Westminster Abbey and the rest - are included, in addition to hundreds of other stately homes, public buildings, towns and rural landscapes which have played some part in Britain's royal history.
Christopher Gray has written the Streetscapes column in the New York Times since 1987. He is the author of New York Streetscapes: Tales of Manhattan's Significant Buildings and Landmarks (2003).
Jason Hawkes has specialized in aerial photography since 1991 and has received awards from D&AD and the Association of Photographers. His previous publications include Aerial: The Art of Photography from the Sky (2003) and Britain from Above (2008).
