With the complexity of traveling out of China during the pandemic, I kept traveling and meeting the diversity of the Chinese landscape as a break between industry and city to reconnect to nature.

The aerial photo series called "The Beauty of China From the Air" was born from my extensive trip through Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, and many other Chinese provinces, photographing the most picturesque landscapes.

Capturing beautiful scenery from the sky. These pictures of desert, trees, villages bring another vision of mother nature and man-made structures from high ground. Sunlight hits and creates a dazzling display of colors. Let's explore.

    How much work went into all those terraces! They are lovely from the air.

    That would be an unexpected sight tucked into such a rugged landscape.

    Maybe I need some scale but I can't understand how people access/ farm these terraces. I realize its been done for centuries but are the crops worth the effort?

    These fields are so beautiful I just want to linger and study their construction.

    Forces that shaped this landscape must have been ...terrifying. Still, I wish I could have seen it happen.

    That water looks like glass... how beautiful! So different from the reddish hues of Big Muddy and its tributaries.

    Ooh, I know this feeling. Walked across America years ago and the vast wild spaces made me feel so connected to the planet and its energy. No words to describe the profound joy of being immersed in nature. Solitude is a learning experience.

    Just for a moment, imagine witnessing the geologic forces that lifted, folded, twisted, and eroded this landscape.

    Is that water, and are the buildings hanging out over it? Doesn't seem like they'd end so abruptly if it was land.
