British Pilot Takes Stunning Photos On His Work Trips Around The World, Here Are 105 Of His Best Pictures
If you are sick of lockdown in your house and being forcefully turned into a couch potato, this British pilot, currently based in Hong Kong, will take you on a trip around the world. And although following his father's footsteps, Lee Mumford indeed knows how to fly a plane and he also can show you the jewels of the planet in an easier, corona-free, and much cheaper way. While working as an airline pilot, he has visited over 40 countries and has seen some of the most magical and picturesque places on Earth. It would be a shame not to share them with others, so he combined his love of flying and photography to provide us with breathtaking photos that range from beautiful landscapes to vivid cityscapes.
He uses ground-level photography, aerial shots with a drone, and infrared photography—whatever does that place justice and brings us as close to its beauty as possible. His talent for capturing postcard-like photos didn't go unnoticed: he has 13.9k fans on Instagram and has won numerous awards in photography competitions. Scroll through the gallery to find out why, and upvote your favorites!

Lee Mumford told Bored Panda about how he started combining his work and a hobby:
"My love for photography came about when I started to travel. I wanted to showcase the beauty of this planet to a wider audience. As I struggled with 'photos don't do it justice,' I started to look at ways of capturing all the details into one shot. This included composition, understanding lighting, exposure, and how to edit your images. As my photos started to gain traction online, it motivated me to get out and shoot more. Life has so many distractions and photography for me is a way of leaving everything else behind and being one with nature."

Why do I immediately think “walking to my death” when I see this? Beautiful picture though.

I just want you to take a moment to think about the fact that somebody carved this by hand into that cliff.

I don't know... they probably at least used a chisel. Maybe even a hammer.

I saw Saturn and Jupiter in those positions (but without the stars and Milky Way) last summer.

It's interesting how the perspective of the tracks doesn't seem to change even though at the top it will be significantly further away.

Potash mine. Potash is 'solution mined,' water is pumped underground where it dissolves the potash from the rocks, that water is brought to the surface and sunlight evaporates the water, causing the potash to crystalize in the ponds shown above. Potash is the primary source of water-soluble potassium used in fertilizers.

It's the Dragon Centre mall, and apparently the roller coaster has been out of service since 2005.

I've never lived in a large apartment building, too many people too close together. These don't seem so bad. Lots of green!
