This book of photography, honoured with the Most Beautiful Book of the Year 2004 Award, is a magical encounter with the familiar as seen from a new perspective – ‘bird’s eye view’ perspective. Well known landscapes of Germany have been transformed into fascinating, full of expression abstract works of art of a superior quality.

The images are accompanied by enlightening explanations written by Dr Angelika Jung-Hüttl, who gathered information on each of the photographed regions from scientists as well as local geographers, naturalists and inhabitants and provides the reader with valuable details of their origins, history and mythology.

‘Germany unimaginably abstract! It is hard to believe that in today’s Germany there are natural landscapes to be found which are still untouched by man…. Through the art of aerial photography applied by Bernhard Edmaier, a photographer and geologist, these landscapes have been transformed into unique works of art – timelessly beautiful in their ever changing forms.’ GEO, April 2003
