Stevens Point River Aerials 2011

I tried a new kite-camera rig, and got some good results considering I didn't wait for perfect weather.
This was late March 2011, after our last 6-inch Spring snow storm.
This area is the Wisconsin River on the west side of Stevens Point.

The railroad crosses on the Black Bridge.

In the upper left of the picture is an eastbound train coming in alongside former US Highway 10. Now it's a county road and the real 10 is 4 lanes bypassing this area.


.

Stevens Point Division Paper Mill, currently owned by New Page. There are no pulpwood facilities at this mill.

.

The train is pulling past the mill.
If I would have waited until the afternoon, a switch engine would be working there.

.

The old Vetter wood working factory is still standing. Hard to believe it's still around.

More pictures from this 'low air' postion are on yard aerial
