Photographer Alex McLean has created this stunning series of images from aboard his Cessna 182 plane. Being at an altitude of 1,500 meters, he photographed not only fields and forests, but also residential areas, industrial zones, as well as places of recreation and entertainment. The result is a wonderful series that perfectly conveys the beauty of the lines and shapes of our world from a height.
