Art originates in nature and draws ideas for masterpieces from it. This is natural, because our planet is beautiful, and many of its places simply fascinate with their beauty. Man—made landscapes that you can look at forever are further in our material.

These stunning photos are so beautiful that you may doubt their reality. From perfectly symmetrical tulip fields to abstract placers of marine plankton that glow at night on the waves: these images show the amazing beauty of our planet.

We live on a wonderful planet that can be explored indefinitely. Plains and mountains, valleys and rivers, golden sands and green forests — you can’t list all the natural resources. All that is required of us is to carefully preserve this beauty, and then nature will more than thank people. Unfortunately, humanity is now neglecting its direct duties, and therefore is suffocating in the smoke of burning forests, drowning in floods and suffering from disasters.
Many of these stunning photos were captured thanks to aerial drone photography. Looking from a height gives you the opportunity to look at the world differently. Photographers from all over the world demonstrated their skills and talent at the Drone Awards photo contest. The winners’ works impressed even the harshest critics.
