This hard cover book was first published in 2004. 94 pages, 42 individual photography plates with an introduction by Robert McFarlane.

This book, published in 2003, represents this special series of images that Jackie made between 1999 and 2002. Aerial photographs captured on film as Jackie and her father Richard Nell were performing loops in his restored biplane.

All the images were within forty minutes flying time from Goulburn Aerodrome. Taken at a time of drought when Goulburn almost ran out of water. The landscape was denuded and the scares from man made activity easy to see.

Photographs within the series won her Canon AIPP Professional Photographer of the year 2002 and AIPP Landscape Photographer of the Year 2003. 2nd place in the World Press Awards for series.

"These photographs are more about abstract imagery than landscape views: there is neither horizon line nor sense of linear perspective. Initially, the imagery seems indecipherable. Familiar landscapes and landmarks have become compositions or texture, line tone and contrast. One can be absorbed by the marks humans have made on the land - random tyre tracks, pockets of water receptacles that we call dams, straight fence lines alien to the natural linear flow and subtleties of the land and it’s vegetation. These are landscapes of pattern and line as seen upside-down in a looping Antique bi-plane (Stampe) one thousand feet above the ground."
