aerial photographs
Pictures from above
Aerial photographs are images taken from above ground level, typically from aircraft, drones, or satellites.
They're used in cartography, urban planning, military reconnaissance, and environmental monitoring.
The bird's-eye perspective reveals patterns invisible from the ground: Aerial photographs showed how the forest had retreated over fifty years.
Also called aerial imagery or simply aerials.
