Argentina from above

Nikolai Nikolaev writes: “I flew a lot and in those first moments when South America appeared in the window of the plane, it was almost impossible to tear myself away from it. So this time, when I began to analyze thousands of photos taken during a trip to Argentina, it was hard to resist not sticking in front of the monitor screen, looking at photos taken from a height. Indeed, I have never seen a more beautiful country with an unimaginable variety of natural and not only natural landscapes! Each flight was a small, and sometimes just an amazing adventure, when the pictures changed dramatically within 20-30 minutes. Even now, when I am preparing this selection, I want to drop everything, return to Argentina, buy myself a couple of dozen tickets for domestic flights and not descend from the Argentine skies, examining from a height the vast expanses of Patagonia, colorful pampas, dead deserts, a sea of greenery of the Argentine selva and many, many more…”
