Coast from the Air

Viewed from the air, the countryside becomes a pattern; the coast becomes an edge. Focusing on a specific coastal region of the British Isles, this work contains over 200 aerial photographs that portray the beauty and diversity of our coastline. It includes areas ranging from the Dingle to The Wash, and the seaside towns of England's south coast.

Viewed from the air, even the most familiar landscapes take on a startling new life. The countryside becomes a pattern; the coast becomes an edge. Humanity recedes and the land itself takes centre stage. From small harbours to expansive bridges, towering cliffs to seaside resorts - "Coast from the Air" gives an incredible new perspective on our green and pleasant land, and how beautiful and fragile that land can be. In 20 chapters - each one focusing on a specific coastal region of the British Isles - over 200 outstanding aerial photographs portray the beauty and diversity of our coastline. From the Dingle to The Wash; from the mild seaside towns of England's south coast to the storm-lashed fishing villages of the Outer Hebrides, "Coast from the Air" is a true visual feast.
