Merrill Kite Aerial Photography

My hometown is Merrill, Wisconsin.  At least that is where I grew up.  I don't get back to Merrill very often, but try to stop in if I'm on my way up north for any reason.  Since I started capturing images by lofting a camera into the air with a Kite, I always thought that it would nice to go back and capture the Merrill Courthouse, as it's pretty distinctive.  The conditions were good as I arrived last Friday to launch my kite with south winds.  This is the first time I've used anything but my wide angle lens on the Sony NEX-5, as I was standing quite a ways away.  Here are the results.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any Queenie and Ron's Pizza, as it seems as though it has closed its' doors for good.  Go Bluejays! Merrill Courthouse Wisconsin River and Merrill Dam Walgreens, Former spot of my elementary School, Lincoln. New Traffic Circle (New in the past few years, or new to me.)
