Our planet is filled with outstanding scenery and picturesque views, and it only takes a single sight to make you speechless. A team of Russian photographers decided to stun the world with views from an unconventional perspective, ones you can only capture if you can fly. In actual fact, these photographers took helicopters, hot air balloons, airplanes and dirigibles to capture some of the most beautiful locations on Earth. You'd never have imagined how some cities and natural sites look like from a bird's-eye view. |
