For half a century the firm Sylvest Jensen Foto photographed Danish houses and farms from the air. The Sylvest Jensen Collection covers the period 1935-1990 and with more than 2 million photographs it is a unique collection illustrating the history of Denmark’s agriculture and landscape.
Above, one can see the same farm at Haved Mark near Rejsby in Southern Jutland photographed in 1956 and 1981.
