British Pilot Combines His Love For Flying And Photography To Capture Beautiful Places In The World (64 New Pics)
We all love to take travel pictures, whether to capture amazing places to show others or as a memory for ourselves. Well, Lee Mumford, a British pilot who is also a videographer, photographer, and drone pilot, took travel pictures to another level.
Lee is known for impressive aerial images of beautiful landscapes and sceneries that he visits around the world due to his work as a pilot.
In a previous interview, Lee shared how he started to take images and what motivated him to get better at it: "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."
So, without further ado, we invite you to explore the world through Lee's lens, and let us know in the comments which place is on your wishlist!

One of the earliest examples of urban planning, carried out by Ildefons Cerdà. "a strict grid pattern of equally sized blocks. Long, wide streets cut across the blocks in order to facilitate transport and navigation. Additionally, each of the blocks was made into an octagon, with chamfered corners giving the impression that they were ‘cut off’. According to Cerdà, this detail would provide greater air circulation in the streets, higher visibility around corners and would make it possible for trams to easily turn the corners of the blocks. The blocks were also all oriented in a NW-SE direction so as to ensure that each household received enough natural light each day."

Every time I see a photo of this place I am amazed because I have never seen a bad photo of this place. This, however, is an exceptionally beautiful shot.

Most of the villages are now ghosts of what they were because of wealthy Londoners buying up holiday homes that they only use for a few weeks a year. The cycle is this ; (L = londoner / incomer). L buys house, removes a house for local to occupy, stays for 3 weeks a year, as a consequence, the local shop, pub, dentist and doctor lose trade, hence income. L number 2 and 3 buy houses on the recommendation of L (1), the Dr, Shop, Pub etc lose more trade. This goes on for a few more years with more L's moving in and now complaining that they don't have a shop, pub, Dr, etc and complaining even more that they can't find a cleaner who's willing to work for slave wages. Personally, I hope they all lose vast amounts of money and f**k off back to London and leave us peasants to rebuild and resist them ever being allowed to buy another rural property again. Failing that, anyone up for rounding them all up over the Christmas weekend and driving them at pitchfork point into the river Tamar ?!!!
Barcelona, Spain
What a god awful way to live. Apart from the climate and the people, the idea of living in a soulless tower block of flats, regardless of it's proximity to the sea or anywhere else beautiful, gives me the heebeejeebies. In contrast, my wife has just pointed out that at least it's better than living on the street !!!
