A Bird's Eye View Of 22 Places Like You've Never Seen Them Before

Marilyn Monroe once said that it is better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. Who wouldn’t agree with that. How many times would we drool over a picture of the Eiffel Tower or Sydney’s Opera House and gasp at the beauty? What when we have seen and are done with them? When they have nothing new to offer, will the charm about them age and die away eventually? Of course not, these cities and monuments are time pieces and it’s just that we have to see them differently.

We bet you would never have seen your favorite destination like this before. As rare as they are to find, these pictures were shot from altitudes hard to fathom, in the most peculiar angles where a fine picture is an exception. Yet, we toiled to collect some brilliant aerial shots of your favorite destinations that might even change your perspective towards the setting altogether. Let’s see how a bird would see our world!

People professionally know me as a copy editor, correspondent and a writer, but writing is something I do even when I am not professionally engaged. I like to visit new places, explore, experience different cultures and share my perspective through words. Writing for food, travel and books is something that comes naturally, and is close to my heart.
