Highbury Historic Park

I popped out to Highbury Park today to do some 3D photogrammetry mapping of some of the historic field marking for a very switched on and welcoming Friends of Highbury Park Group.

What I am trying to do is to help and encourage them to take responsibility for supporting the landscape and places they love. I am crunching data at the moment but will post a few images of the results later if anyone is interested.
 
A changing Skyline in the View from Highbury Park
I was out doing some photogrammetry drone work for the Friends of Highbury Historic Park a community group. I could not resist a quick snap of the city centre and its evolving skyline. As a kid the skyline if you could see it through the pollution haze was doted with smoking factory chimneys.
The park is very interesting and has a lot of history, lots of field crop marks still surviving. The section (forground right) I thought would yield the least has revealed the most, it will keep the archaeologists busy for a few years now.
