our old house today.jpg



This picture was taken from a camera attached to a kite. KAP, Kite Arial Photography.
Isn't that amazing!
This house, which I have circled in green, borders the heath and fifty years ago my family and I lived in it for a short time while my father attended a naval course at Greenwich.
My sister took a trip to England this September and photographed our old house at 18 Montpelier Row.
So, I thought I would put in the pbase search 'Blackheath'.
I found an amazing site where a man had just visited the heath a week after my sister and had flown his kite with camera attached.
With such fabulous pictures to look at I was able to pick out our old house.
Had they been there at the same time I might have seen her in his phtograph. ;)
So with the permission of the photographer, Alexis Hadjisteriou, I was able to download some of his images. Thank you Alexis.
I have posted a link via thumbnail below the larger one so you can see the result of his time at Blackheath and beyond.

Hi Margot,
Wow what a location to live in. The views must have been amazing. I am so pleased that my aerial photos have given someone so much pleasure. Ironically, the house that I was born and bred is now under occupation (since 1974) by the Turkish army in Famagusta,Cyprus and all I have is aerial photographs which were sent to me anonymously. Our building is the one on the left athttp://www.pbase.com/alexis/image/41792895

Regards
Alexis
