Check out these aerial photographs of Botswana by Zack Seckler…

Zack Seckler created pictures of animals, vegetation and salt ponds in Botswana from 500 feet above the ground. The result is a series of images that are an aesthetic mixture between landscape and pattern. The photographer describes his experience: ‘Being above the ground at such low elevations, and having the ability to precisely maneuver, was like gliding over an enormous painting and being able to create brushstrokes at will. As soon as I saw the landscape from above I knew there was potential to create a special body of work.’ The effect is pure beauty. You can see the series at Robin Rice Gallery in New York until February 23, 2014.
