  Ports and Airports is a compilation of 100 vertical aerial photographs of British docks and airports, taken from the Millennium Map . The Millennium Map consists of vertical photographs of the whole of the United Kingdom from an average height of 5500 feet, recording every object right down to a minimum size of 25cm. Heathrow, the world's busiest passenger airport; St Mary's on the Scilly Isles, perhaps Britain's most exotic holiday destination; Duxford in Cambridgeshire, site of the RAF museum; St Ives, popular Cornish cultural centre and working fishing village; Dover, white cliffs and ferries to France; Skegness, Lincolnshire's famously bracing resort; Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk, no longer quite next to the sea due to shifting sands; Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire container port; Stranraer, Ayrshire gateway to Northern Ireland - this volume should bring a surprising new angle to places such as these.
