I adore the work of the French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Now a German team tried to create something similar – but, sorry to say – without the political message of Yann Arthus-Bertrand, that mankind is going to destroy the resources of our planet, acting to often without any thinking; but the German movie “DEUTSCHLAND VON OBEN”, actually in the cinemas, features via modern GPS technologies the global migration routes very interesting too; also the movie introduces some romantic little cities – those which were not destroyed by bombs in the world wars I and II. I cannot show the movie below – but seven aerial photos by myself (a private hobby) – and then three shots by the professional successful German photographer Klaus Leidorf!

above: 7 photos made by frizztext (myself):

I agree with you, Frizz. Even though Leidorf’s shots are more spectacular, I prefer yours, as they have that extra something…[!]

Frizz, superb shots and how much fun must it be up there in the air! As for the state of the planet, aerial exposure to such changes is so much more confronting . . .
