\u201cAfter a decade of running the successful International Landscape Photographer of the Year awards [we] noticed an increase in the number of stunning aerial photographs and wondered if there was room for a special competition dedicated to the art and practice of aerial photography,\u201d said chairman of judges Peter Eastway.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhotographers today are capturing some simply breathtaking views from above.<\/p>\n

Photographers from Australia, France, Spain, Norway and Canada are represented in the top tier of winners and runners-up, but the final 101 are from many other parts of the earth.<\/p>\n
