Historical aerial photos from Sunnmøre
By Johan Ottesen 2004
Join us on a historical flight over Sunnmøre. On this journey you will see how this region was seen from the air in the past. From his large collection of older aerial photographs, author Johan Ottesen has selected nearly 250 images that he presents in this book. Most of the photographs are around 50 years old. But there are also photos that go all the way back to the pioneering days of aerial photography - to the 1920s. Since these photos were taken, there have been major changes in both rural and urban areas. And on this tour of all the municipalities in Sunnmøre, the emphasis has been on the places where the greatest changes have occurred since then. Johan Ottesen (b. 1944) currently runs a photo archive with aerial photographs from all over the country. He has published a number of local history books.
