10 Brilliant Aerial Photographs Of Bavarian Forest Taken By Bernhard Lang

The Bavarian Forest National Park in southeastern Germany aims to conserve and preserve the forests with very little human intervention. A photographer named Bernhard Lang decided to capture the beautiful mountainous forest in all its glory and the shots are breathtakingly gorgeous. In autumn, National Geographic will publish a Coffey-Table-Book showing his 'Aerial Views' Project. Bernhard started to work on the project "Aerial Views" in 2010, for which he takes aerial photos out of open doors of helicopters or other small aircraft. Talking about his inspiration for this project, he said, "The vistas outside the window during usual passenger flights have always been fascinating for me. I remember being particularly captivated by snowy landscapes during a passenger flight from Frankfurt to Tokyo over Siberia, and the vast desert sceneries of the Sahara, I saw on another passenger flight to South Africa. Seeing these sceneries from above was very impressive and breathtaking for me - I recognized structures, patterns and shapes in these landscapes, which sometimes reminded me of abstract paintings. As a photographer, my aim was then to try to capture these aerial views with the camera by myself." Check out some of his stunning photos in the gallery below.
