The interior of Iceland was long terra incognita: unknown, unexplored
country. The photographs are part of an aerial image series of the
Iceland.
Aerial photography attracts me always: the landscapes photographed
from above assume unimaginable forms. Think of the drawings made
by the man with his work in the fields, to the shores of rivers and
roads that become sinuous lines, to the cultivation of flowers that look
like colorful carpets of petals. During my flight on this beautiful earth, I
photographed glaciers, volcanoes, lakes and rivers, all with bizarre
shapes, almost abstract. I can say with certainty that it was the most
beautiful flight photo that I made until now.
