London' s aerial shots..beautiful.


i specifically admire the way the Buckingham palace retains its surroundings in the midst of urban growth..the greenery etc..its awesome. 

The heart-stopping shots are the work of aerial photographer Jason Hawkes who developed a love of Britain 's varied landscape since taking his first flying lesson 20 years ago.
