During the time when Latvia was occupied by the Soviet Union I was forbidden to take photos from airplanes. Now that Latvia has regained its independence aerophotography has become a part of my professional work. It is also my hobby. Most of the pictures have been taken in Latvia.

This book consists of four series of four aerial photos, which are supplemented with other photos, mostly also aerial photos. When viewing this book I suggest reading Richard Bach and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
