    On the first day of Wimbledon, a look back at days gone by

    Courtesy English Heritage

    An aerial view of the Wimbledon Championships in 1921, the final incarnation of the tournament at its original location in Worple Road, London. The following year new grounds were opened in Church Road, where the event continues to this day.

    ITV News and msnbc.com's David R. Arnott report

    The world's oldest tennis tournament enters its 136th year Monday as stars like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams join battle at Wimbledon.

    But when the picture above was taken, back in 1921, the names to look out for were Suzanne Lenglen of France and Bill Tilden of the U.S., both of whom would go on to retain the championship that year.

    The photograph is among more than 15,000 images from one of the earliest and most significant collections of aerial photography of Britain that have been made available online for the first time.

    The photos on the Britain from Above website, launched today, have gone through a painstaking process of conservation and cataloguing. See more of the images at ITV News.

    Japan quake and tsunami damage seen from above

    By Robert Hood

    Sometimes seeing pictures that are up-close and personal is the only way to understand a news event. In fact, that approach is used by journalists every day. It puts a face on an event, and that helps us care. Caring leads to the desire to understand.

    However, sometimes an event is so big that seeing it from way up high is the only way to comprehend how big it is.

    Fallen plastic crate boxes are seen outside a factory compound in an area damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in Sendai, Japan, April 1, 2011.

    Now this is a great summer photo! Makes you want to dive in. I've seen other photos of the river Aare...It appears to be a wide, deep body of water with a swift current. I'm a strong swimmer but I'd be on a floatie!
