Abstract Aerial

Photograph by Stas Bartnikas, National Geographic Your Shot

For Your Shot member Stas Bartnikas, aerial photography is a passion, a fortunate hobby for someone who travels up to a dozen times a year. “Every trip, I fly and take shots,” he writes. “Iceland is [the] most photogenic country from above.” He captured this kaleidoscopic view of volcanic lakes near Mýrsalsjökull Glacier from a Cessna. For him, partly sunny weather, a good pilot, and an elated mood made the colorful and unusual picture possible.
