The "BIRD'S-EYE VIEW" . . . in art

Sweden money kronor 1994 geese
a 'BIRD'S-EYE VIEW' is an elevated view of an object from above,  with a perspective as though
the observer were a bird,  as though the observer had spent 20 kronor on getting very high on a
giant goose.  Well who hasn't from time to time?
