West Seattle from the sky: Local pilot shares 2 views

These photos were taken and shared by Gatewood pilot Long Nguyen, suggesting it “would be cool for folks in WS to see their neighborhood from the air.” He was on a training flight with a student in early August when he took the top photo, which he sent us first, adding this one in a followup exchange:

For a larger view of the 1st photo, go here; for a larger view of the second one, go here.

    ITN, that’s as big as I could upload from the file that Long sent. I scoured his gallery website, to which the “see larger version” link for the second photo points, and didn’t see it there; I’ll e-mail him back and ask if perhaps he’d consider posting it on that site – TR

    Beautiful. Anybody know of other sources of small scale aerial photography like this? It’s really cool to check out the neighborhood from above like this.

    Or also go to one of those real-estate sites like Zillow that show an aerial view of your house. We laughed when we saw ours because the shot (at the time) was taken when what was (a year or so ago) a ubiquitous Qwest crew was out front … they spent so much time here they should have pitched a tent … it was so fitting they were captured on aerial camera for posterity – TR

    These are great, can a buy prints? What resolution were they taken in? I would like to blow up and put on my wall.

    Thanks,

    I will ask permission to have more of our neighborhood pictures from the air to be post on this site. I am happy to see everybody enjoyed these images. Cheers, Long
