incredible aerials

These aerial shots by National Geographic are amazing. I saw them in an old issue over the weekend and made Q use his search skills to find the gallery online. Here are two that inspire me: the first documents starfish by the shore, and the second captures a confetti of flags over a shrimp farm.

See the entire gallery here (in full size). Also, has anyone been watching the life series? We don't have cable, otherwise I would.
