Europe from a bird's eye view

Photographer Amos Chapple took amazing photographs of European cities from the air. By attaching a camera to a small drone, he was able to reach places that were inaccessible to most people. Now not only pilots, but also “flightless birds” can see Europe from a bird’s eye view. Amos visited countries such as Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Turkey, Russia, Georgia, Armenia. Look down on Europe with us.

Abkhazia

Russian vacationers on the beach. According to the photographer, he usually tries not to shoot in places where there are a lot of people. But there was such a brisk trade on the beach that no one even paid attention to the noise made by the drone. (Photo: Amos Chapple)
