Earth is a canvas, and nature is the artist that creates masterpieces on it. The unique beauty of our planet is a sight to behold. My name is Florian Delalee and I have captured the stunning landscapes of China through my lens. My aerial photography series called "Beauty of the Earth" showcases the unique bird-view angle of nature's creations.

I am a French industrial project manager passionate about photography and travel who has traveled to China and Asia over the last decade during my free time capturing the beauty of nature off the beaten path through my lens. From the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the lush green forests of Guilin and the desert in Inner Mongolia. My aerial photography series "Beauty of the Earth" focuses on the natural landscapes of China. I have captured the stunning beauty of China's countryside, mountains, rivers, and lakes from a unique perspective. My photographs showcase the intricate details patterns and vastness and power of nature's creations.

Incredible! Looks like the land is made of mosaics!

Aerial photography is a form of photography that captures images from a unique bird's eye view of nature's landscapes of the world we live in. It enables us to see our environment from a new angle and appreciate the beauty of our natural and man-made surroundings. From towering mountains to sprawling cities, aerial photography captures the essence of a location in a way that is both captivating and awe-inspiring. Join me on this journey as I showcase stunning aerial photographs that will take your breath away and leave you in awe of the world we live in.

    Its gorgeous but looks like it floods. Or in the flood plain when water rises due to rain season. Very dangerous.

    A soft, low whistle echoed throughout the forest, daring humans to find the source. Many could not. Their hearts have ceased, the metronome of life stopping forever within their cold, desolate bodies. Hundreds upon thousands had died trying to trek the winding slopes. Only one was victorious. She was a young girl; perhaps around the age of seven. Rumors say she had known the land well, but alas, those were just rumors. She came from a small village in the desert; quite different from what she had to overcome. Her family was dead; her only link to uncovering the dark past, was through the forest.
