<P>[tachato] <STRONG>Answer: Boston</STRONG></P>
<P>In 1860, photographer James Wallace Black hauled his gear into the basket of
a hot air balloon and set sail over the city of Boston. Although Black wasn t the
first to combine the lofty elevation of a hot air balloon and a camera (that dis
tinction belongs to the Frenchman Gaspard-Flix Tournachon who snapped a photo fro
m a balloon two years earlier in 1858), his photograph is the earliest surviving
example of aerial photography.</P>
<P>Oliver Wendell Holmes described Black s photograph in the July 1863 edition of
the Atlantic Monthly as such:</P>
<P>Boston, as the eagle and wild goose see it, is a very different object from t
he same place as the solid citizen looks up at its eaves and chimneys. The Old S
outh and Trinity Church are two landmarks not to be mistaken. Washington Street
slants across the picture as a narrow cleft. Milk Street winds as if the old cow
path which gave it a name had been followed by the builders of its commercial pa
laces. Windows, chimneys, and skylights attract the eye in the central parts of
the view, exquisitely defined, bewildering in numbers . As a first attempt it is o
n the whole a remarkable success; but its greatest interest is in showing what w
e may hope to see accomplished in the same direction.</EM></P>
<P>Despite more than a century of photographic developments between the work by
Tournachon and Black we ve never, if the popularity of satellite image services li
ke Google Earth are any indicator, lost our love of seeing the same places as ve
ry different objects from a more bird-like vantage point.</EM></P>
