Hi Hugh,
Thanks for your comments on my photos :) I took them with a camera mounted on a model plane. I live on the ladder so Finsbury Park was a convenient place to try out some aerial photography. I can't see my house in the Ladder photo though, as it's hidden behind a tree!

I have more shots of the area here:

McF, I love these pics - so glad I found you on Google Earth. I wonder if there's any way to join them into a kind of near virtual all round view of Harringay from the sky.

Wow - amazing pictures (and an amazing way of taking them) - congratulations! How on earth do you get an A620 on a model plane?

This is beautiful!
Have you thought about uploading (one of) them on Wikimedia Commons so that we can use them on Wikipedia?

wow! What time was this? I just noticed the lack of traffic jams on Green Lanes..

It was early (before 8am I think) on a Sunday, hence the lack of traffic. I thought it was best to fly when there wouldn't be many people around..

Wonderful photos, and well dug up, Hugh. Was it very early one summer Sunday morning? My 5 year old would love to see your model plane..
Green Lanes looks wider than I thought - surely space there for two wafer-thin bike lanes? Failing that, why not bus lanes in both directions for rush hour use (southbound mornings, northbound late afternoon/early evening?
