Welcome to the World of Flight and Photography!
Come along for the photos and the stories behind the photos.
These vignettes bring to life how a photo was captured, who was involved and what were the circumstances. Enjoy!
A successful community fundraiser has become an annual event and is showcased in a new book!
Phil Lehr creates huge designs on the ground that can only be seen and understood from the air and they are revealed in the photographs taken by pilot and aerial photographer Margot Cheel in Cohasset, MA. The new book, “The Pumpkin Patch: A Story of Service, Creativity and Community” shows 20 years of Halloween inspired designs created with thousands of pumpkins by a team of teens and adults!
An ongoing event for 20 years, the photos of the pumpkin designs are always highly anticipated and make walking in the patch a fun and intriguing experience. Phil Lehr creates a different pattern each year which is kept secret from everyone – including photographer Margot Cheel – until finally being revealed in the aerial photographs!
Now in book form, all 20 years of aerial photos can be revealed and enjoyed, along with the story of how the purchase of pumpkins supports a service project to Appalachia.
In the book there is good humor and a heart warming feeling that comes through the pages. It’s inspirational, creative and spirited!

I am continually amazed by the beauty of the New England coastal area with the views from above. How shorelines form the land, how the sea impacts changes, and how interrelationships are made.
