Windsor Tornado Damage

On Thursday, May 22, a large tornado touched down in Windsor, Colorado. This was a surprise to a lot of people since we do not get many tornados this close to the mountains. And if they do happen, they are usually not very strong.

On Saturday, we went up to look at the damage and we even more surprised to see how the tornado had wreaked havoc to the small town. It looks like it really hit the main residential area which is sad.

Below is only one small section of the residential destruction. I imagine every house with a blue tarp has its roof blown off. Many are totally destroyed.

What Aerial Photography Provides

Sometimes people ask, "Why Aerial Photos since so much is on Google?" Google and other aerial mapping tools are great, but aerial photography from us offers a lot that those services cannot provide.

For construction, recent and monthly photos can be extremely important. This is not possible with Google. Also once a project is done, it is nice to get an aerial photos of the newly finished building. A custom aerial photography will provide a high resolution photograph with incredible detail that can be enlarged to about any size you want.

For realestate, vertical shots are likely not the best way to protray your property. Vertical shots only show the roofs of buildings and not the fronts. Oblique shots or shots taken from an angle can show nicely the perspective of your property in relation to the city and other prominent sites.

Denver Downtown Construction

Denver Downtown Construction

Much is going on downtown with lots of construction! On almost every street there is construction. Here are a few pictures of areas under construction.

Often when taking picture of one site, you capture two sites at the same time. In this picture, there is a building with 5+ stories built and one behind that is just starting.
