Add Review/CommentThe photographs of ancient and modern landscapes are captured from a unique vantage point, an ultralight airplane in the exhibition, From Above: Images of a Storied Land, by aerial photographer Adriel Heisey. 60 large-scale photographs by Adriel Heisey give an eagle's perspective of the desert Southwest. Some features look unimportant from the ground, but from the air, spiral-walled compounds from an ancient Mexican society, clearly form a cross. The photographs of ancient and modern landscapes are captured from a unique vantage point, an ultralight airplane. The aerial visions give new insight to Chaco Canyon, Casas Grandes and the Aztec Ruins National Monument, just a few of the locations reflected by Heisey during his solo flights. These photos aren't taken from an airplane window; Heisey's ultralight airplane allows him to fly the plane from the outside, on an open-air perch. The 450-pound plane is modified so Heisey can fly and take photographs at the same time. He has replaced one of the seats, and made an improvised leg strap for flying with one leg.
