Incredible Aerial Views of Cities of the World

When we travel, or even just look through travel magazines, we see the world from a human point of view. Thanks to the improvement into unmanned drones, we finally get a shot to see the world from a new perspective, as if we were soaring through the sky, like a bird. These spectacular shots from around the world were all taken by drones, giving us that unique view we never get to see.



Barcelona, Spain.



The Eixample district of the city with the Sagrada Familia cathedral, center, designed by Antoni Gaudí. The octagonal city blocks were designed to allow light and space on the street corners.

Trieste, Italy.



The Vittoria Light, overlooking the Gulf of Trieste as a storm approaches at sunset. “The first job is finding somewhere out of the way to launch from; then you’re at the mercy of the weather. Dramatic skies are great, but it can’t be raining or windy.. There was a lot of waiting around.”

Bourtange, Netherlands.



The star fort. Three centuries after the last cannonball was fired in anger at the fort; it now serves as a museum and center of a sleepy farming village in eastern Holland. The low, thick walls were designed to offset the pounding force of cannon fire.

Abkhazia.



Russian holidaymakers on the beach. “I try to avoid having it anywhere near people, but the shot in Abkhazia was taken after I saw some other guys flying a small drone above the beach - there was so much noisy commercial activity on the beach that it passed as just another gimmick.”

Georgian hermit has lived there for the past twenty years to be ‘closer to God.’

Yerevan, Armenia.



The giant statue of Mother Armenia. “It’s always best working in the less touristy places, then showing the locals the images. One of my best friends lives in Armenia, Showing him and his friends this image was almost emotional. You could really feel the pride they had in having their city represented in a unique way.”
