Human Landscapes From Above
Posted by Shirley Twofeathers in cool, places
UPDATE! I found out where these pictures came from. Here's the scoop: Photographer Jason Hawkes has been carrying his Nikon D3 aboard helicopters around the world, hanging out the doorway and capturing landscapes - most somehow affected by humans - below. Here are some of his amazing photos - with links to Google maps where available. (All images © Jason Hawkes)The picture above shows tomatoes dumped on the banks of the River Durance, France.
