Summary:

Sébastien Nagy has traveled around the world in recent years, capturing bridges, towers, houses, roads, monuments and other structures along the way with his drone camera. In this book, the Brussels photographer shows in a spectacular way the architectural footprint that humans leave behind on earth. From Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and from the pedal boat path in Bokrijk to the Dubai Frame in the United Arab Emirates, Nagy invariably captures these well-known and lesser-known structures at the perfect time of day, allowing them to seem to be bathed in golden light. The approximately 120 photos are divided into four themes: Water, City, Desert and Nature.

Notes:
