Anyone can appreciate a traditional glamour shot of an awesome landscape. But one of my favorite ways to look at the land is from the sky, so I love these shots of trees and fields in the Netherlands by Gerco de Ruijter.

He shot the photos between 1993 and 2003 by attaching a camera to a contraption consisting of a helium balloon, fishing rod and a kite.

You can see more of his work from the project at his website.
