Aerial Photos of Botswana's Wildlife by Zack Seckler
Photographer Zack Seckler flying in an ultra-light just a few hundred feet off the ground takes these awesome photos of the wildlife for his series Botswana.
He explains: "it was like gliding over an enormous painting and being able to create brushstrokes at will. Flying 100 feet over herds of wild animals in a plane with no windows was an unforgettable experience. I was privy to views and perspectives that very few get to see. As a photographer, I was humbled. I’m always thinking about new ways to view the world. This series quite literally changed my view, showing me that simple changes can create profound results."

Pairing images together is a little bit like writing an analogy. Pairing videos together is like writing a metaphor: the points of comparison bleed almost entirely together.
The World Wildlife Foundation has this new promo video which clearly is interested in removing the barriers in our own thinking between the world and the natural world.
