Tribute to Jason Hawkes – Aerial Photographer




This collection of aerial photographs giving a spectacular bird's eye view of Britain from above had been released to mark the Queen's Jubilee year.

From the Bustling cities contrasted with, serene stretches of glorious countrysides. From the ground, areas are transformed into unique and wonderful images when viewed from above.

The heart-stopping shots are the work of aerial photographer named, Jason Hawkes who developed a love of Britain’s varied landscape since taking his first flying lesson 20 years ago.


it's just within the look - I belong to a photo site and one could literally look for hours at all the photography which still to this day
amazes me.
