Strathcona County: Rural History from the Skies – Web Image Gallery

A throwback to yesteryear, these 20 + aerial photographs give us a sense of what Strathcona County was like “back in the day.” From the north of the County to the south, every place is different. Most if not all photos were taken from a model of plane that featured an overhead wing. Removing the doors enabled the photographer to get a better angle of properties at very low altitudes.
