Photo and text by Chris Burkard chrisburkard | It's often you (the viewer) that comes to mind when I'm shooting photographs like this. I've gone to great lengths to bring scale & ultimately understanding to an otherwise foreign and undefinable landscape. While flying over these braided river systems, this small Piper Cub below our Cessna helped give a perspective for how large these glacial floodplains appear with the naked eye. Matching our speed as we created this image was almost impossible as we struggled to maintain a distance of 1,000 ft apart. I've never felt more sick while trying to focus through a viewfinder as our plane turned to reveal the ground below. . . . #POTD #photooftheday #picoftheday #travel #travelphotography #nature #naturephotography #landscape #landscapephotography #floodplains #plane #aerialphotography
