Amazing!!!

I would like to know the altitude in the first 6 pics, I would guess 3500 feets.

Those are some terrific photos - thank you for posting them as I loved seeing them. Is this some type of tourist outfit that takes people up for an hour or so flight? If so, how much does it cost, and do they have a website or other contact info - I would love to take a similar trip in either a plane or helicopter like this.

Great pictures Nals. Santo Domingo is a huge city. I'll stick with Santiago, thank you.

PS: NALs, how big was the telephoto lens you used to be able to get such clear pictures all the way from Connecticut??
