Northern Cambria County by Air

This week's blog was shot from a 2-seat helicopter as I was flown over the Northwest corner of Cambria County. The pictures comprise the four towns and two school districts that make up this part of the county. These first twenty-one pictures are just a small sample of the over 250 photographs that I took. The four pictures of the buck were shot in our yard. This was his third visit, that we know of.

Several years ago Spangler and Barnesboro consolidated to form the borough of Northern Cambria. We have used all three of the names to identify the pictures.

I was born in Miners Hosp in 1964. I am now living in Sydney Australia. Your photos were great fun for me to look at. I mapped out all of the old spots I use to bike ride and play growing up in Spangler. Thank you

Growing up in Spangler, your photos really brought beck great memories. They are phenomenal. Thank you so much for sharing. When we go back to visit, we forget to stop and really look at how beautiful "home" is. Thanks again.

Love the picture of Carrolltown! Used to see the steeple coming and going to the grandparents house in Barnesboro, aka Norther Cambria. Great, great photos!
