A place to share pictures taken from above, that reveal interesting views, fascinating places or different angles to places.

I have made a short video describing how I take the pictures that I share, here

This is not a rule! You are welcome to share any aerial picture you feel is worth sharing. I just thought that maybe some of you may need a little help. It's really addictive once you get started!

Summer residences close to Copenhagen in Denmark. The hedges are angled, from 180cm to 80 cm, securing privacy and optimal light access for plants close to the tip of the "slices".

All homes have access to electricity, water, sewage and water. The houses must be less than 50 square meters, and you can only live there between April 1st to October 1st. Outside this period you can only stay there on weekends.

My german brain can't fathom the inefficiency of these circular communities.

It's even worse when you consider not only the wasted space, but all of it wasted in winter when you're not allowed to live there.

I dont know the particulars of the thoughts behind this, but originally they were made for people who live in apartments to be able to enjoy a country house for an affordable price. So these are meant to be casual areas with little or no traffic designed for relaxation. To me it seems pretty sufficient to have so few roads to so many houses though.

It looks like wasted space but there are 264 houses in the circular communities south of the highway and only 230 houses in the other area to the west of them.

Looks like a lot less roads as well

It would be neat if they planted wild and native plants and trees between the circular communities instead of lawns of grass.

Kinda seems like a different take on cul-de-sacs
