Split-second timing, prodigious piloting skills, and infinite patience are required to take photographs like the dozens of selections in Massachusetts -- A View from Above. This handsome and unusual volume covers all corners of the state, in every season, presenting both forested hillsides and skyscrapered cities, sweeping sand beaches anti neatly tilled farmlands -- all from an overhead perspective most of us never experience.

A professional photographer for more than thirty years, Chuck Feil counts among his many credits work on the well known Jane Goodall World of Wildlife television series.

Times wrote, "he has a superb eye for revealing the structure of human-made objects as seen from a novel point of view."
