Wouldn't it be incredible to be able to see all the landscapes around the world?! God has made so many beautiful places on this planet, because He wanted us to enjoy it! Even with sin affecting this place we live, there is still much beauty, because of God's mercy. Jesus died so we and nature has protection. All blessings can be traced to Calvary, and from there to God's heart. Genesis 1:29-30, "
God said, “I have given you every plant with seeds on the face of the earth and every tree that has fruit with seeds. This will be your food. I have given all green plants as food to every land animal, every bird in the sky, and every animal that crawls on the earth—every living, breathing animal.” And so it was. And God saw everything that he had made and that it was very good. There was evening, then morning—the sixth day.
From The Daily Mail:
These are the incredible birds eye view photos of Iceland’s extreme landscape - taken from up to 9,000ft in the air.
The stunning shots were captured by husband and wife duo Erlend Haarberg, 46, and Orsolya Haarberg, 35, as they soared above the beautiful Nordic nation.
The pair scaled mountains, trekked over some of the world’s most rugged terrain and took to the skies in a light aircraft to snap some of the world’s most spectacular scenery.
Incredible: The hot spring in Iceland's
Fjallabak Nature Reserve which is part of a series of pictures taken
from up to 9,000ft in the air
In one photograph, a fork of sideways lightening sparks out from the Eyjafjallajvkull volcano - which caused travel chaos when it erupted in 2010 - as it explodes into action.
Another shot appears to show a tree, but is actually a river delta running into several different streams.
Orsolya, from Jakobsli in Norway, who wed Erlend in 2005 before embarking on the epic photography project, said: 'Normally I get sick when flying, so I was thankful for the calm conditions, otherwise I would have been in trouble.
Spectacle: Lightning flashes through an ash cloud from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland
Dramatic: A meandering river crosses the grey sandy beach of Landeyjarsandur in Iceland
Rugged: This aerial view of the the Thjors river in Iceland reveals another of the country's drastically contrasting landscapes
'But it was definitely worth being patient. Iceland’s landscape is so extreme and varied - it makes for such amazing viewing. The colours of the flat landscape really only become visible once you are in the air.'
Husband Erlend was charged with taking the extraordinary aerial images while his wife guided the pilot from the back of the light aircraft.

Splash: This boiling mud pot was captured on camera in Hverir in Iceland
Atmospheric: This picture shows a hot spring with an unusual cloud formation above it in Hveravellir, Iceland
Incredibly, thanks to the poor weather, they covered the whole nation in just one five-hour flight before being forced to return as the fuel ran low.
Professional snapper Orsolya, who quit her studies to become a full-time photographer, added: 'It was a tight schedule. One minute we were photographing the erupting Eyjafjallajokull volcano and the next we were over Europe’s largest ice cap, the Vatnajvkull.
'Most tourists never get to see these places at all - let alone from the air. We feel privileged to have witnessed them first hand.
Unreal: An aerial view showing small streams flowing at the Langj kull glacier in Iceland
'People seem to be amazed by the abstract aerials, probably because they are almost alien-like.'The couple have now released a book called Iceland: Land of Contrast to document their travels.

God's best 2 U, Joy J
