Ever wondered how the world would have looked like from bird’s eye view?

There are several perks of being a human and one of the major one is that we can travel, explore and see all the extraordinary places that this world has to offer, whether it is a natural landscape or grandeur of man-made buildings. However, birds sometimes beat us humans in term of experiencing the world from the best angle possible, the aerial view.

Well, thanks to all the recent technological developments, one does not need to transform into a bird to see the world from above. Enjoy the amazing collection of breathtaking aerial shots of the famous landmarks of earth taken from bird’s eye view!
