Planet earth is extremely beautiful, and by seeing these Aerial photographs, you’d take a long breath and feel like you’ve never seen it before. A British pilot exposes, winding rivers, glittering skylines, and tall peaks under infrared light. The earth is best viewed from above, by taking incredible aerial photographs of majestic landscapes. The British pilot Captain Jon Bowles takes Dubai’s man-made Palm islands from his cockpit at altitudes of up to 40,000ft.
He has taken some incredible photos of K2 peaks, the 2nd highest mountain in the world in the Himalayas, Mount Kilimanjaro, Canada’s frozen Labrador coast, the Great Rift Valley in Africa, the Kunlun Mountains in China, Iran’s Lake Urmia, Lake Van the largest lake in Turkey, Padma River in Bangladesh, and the sacred waters of the Ganges Delta and Kunyang Chhish mountain & salt flats of Pakistan.
The Bolton-based, 55 years old pilot, used a modified Sony Nex 5N camera to capture these breathtaking pictures in a completely different spectrum. His astonishing shooting shows the world in a light impossible for the human eye to detect.
