Nice work!

These are beautiful!!!

This Photos are amazing.

Nice pics! keep up the good work.

I would like to make a comment on the spelling tough. The picture of a shanty town in Medellin is from Colombia (the country) and not from Columbia.

From wikipedia:
"Columbia is the original name for the United States, popular in the eighteenth century, and its poetic nineteenth century female personification (see her as the girl symbolically representing the
United States on the screen at the start of Columbia Picture movies)."

"Columbia. It is also the name of the federal district of the United States, District of Columbia. It should not be confused with Colombia a nation in South America, which has a different spelling."

Anyway, thanks for all your good work

How about some high res versions of these? Kinda lame as they are right now...

I have been in Plaza Real (Barcelona) yesterday. It's a lot better from above. Thank you.

Your photos are the bomb. However, as a life-long Redskins game who has been there many times, I must say that:

It's called FedEx Field. Before it was renamed FedEx field it was named Jack Kent Cooke Stadium. It was never known as Washington Redskins Stadium. By the way, it's even bigger now than when the photo was taken, they added about 9000 seats.

You have an amazing eye, exellent work

Wow! Amazing photos. Thanks for letting us check them out. I especially like the shot of Ben Bulden. Never seen a rock formation like that.

Great work. These are some wonderfull pictures.

Beautiful ... looking forward to more in the future.

absolutely fantastic photography. good work

Phenomenal work

hi

Nice collection.
just a small spelling error for photo #5
Ben Bulden should be spelt Ben Bulben

jc

Amazing work !

Beautiful pics!! keep up the cool photog work!

great work, thouroughly enjoyed seeing these pics. Please post more.

Thanks for the great opportunity to see the earth from a perspective most of us will not be lucky enough to be able to do in our lifetimes.

Being an Australian, I think you would find some fantastic subjects to photograph here.

Keep up the great work.

Denise

Absolutely amazing Pictures!

Even that is an understatement.

Awesome pics!

Thanks for the Longleat maze! Will print that one out and see if it helps me next time I'm there ;)

Great pics! Hi-res ones would be appreciated, especially the one of London - would make great desktop wallpapers!

These are awesome. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Peace.

Great pictures. Hard to believe you had more of the state of South Carolina, usa than any where else. Most people can't even find it on a map.

Hope you will post more. Was these taken from a commercial flight or do fly yourself?

Love the pics.Good eye.Looking forward to more:)

These are great shots. I have been taking photos for over 40 years, but I would be proud to take just one like yours.

Beautiful Work!!! Keep it Up!!!

This is a photo site not a spelling contest. Nice pictures and some words wrong spelling, who cares.

Very nice, beautiful photos....

Beautiful photos.

i is amesing that jou see the thinks diverend than any other person the pictures are wonderful i wil take a better look before i make a picture in the future thank you for your view

Some of the most stunning work I've yet seen - incredible how nature seems so ordered at times. Love the red vans! If you have time, take a trip to my blog header (http://damien.propellerglobal.com) for an aerial shot of the Great Barrier Reef. I haven't had chance to set up my gallery yet.

great to stumble on!

Beautiful pics, and dont let the people criticizing your spelling or hi-res pics get to you. I was amazed by these beautiful pics and there is nothing to criticize, even if it's wrong spelling.

Great work that I can see the world and because my age I am not able to see this in live,thank You very much.

Simply an awesome set.
Love the many shapes & angles that can be interpreted to be so much more than what they are in actuality.
Great work

Beautiful work. The composition of your shots is perfect and the colours are outstanding. Keep up the great work.

Outstanding and breathtakingly beautiful. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your gift for all the world to see. Ignore those critical....They have nothing better to do if they can overlook the beauty and your talent in every shot and not be moved and touched. Some people do not feel good about themselves unless they are pulling down those doing good works. I will continue to check back to see more of your lovely photo's and share your website with family and friends. Thanks Jason!!!!

Hi,
It seems everyone is a critic these days. Your pix were great. I have never seen anything like the Gweebarra Bay in Ireland (it looked like chocolate soup). However, the picture of Arctic Wind Farm Havosaud and Barents Sea, Norway did not come through. As my husband is of Norwegian descent and has never been over there, could you please reproduce that photo (or at least email it to my e-address. Thank you, JoAnn

it was a fantastic collection made by u.each one in its aerial view is awesome.i really enjoyed it.
thank u,
soni

How unfortunate that Mr Hawkes wouldn't find anything else to take a photo of than a chanty town in such a fantastic country as Colombia. Let's use our creativity a little more and be more open minded. it is sad that even people such as Mr Hawkes can't find it in himself to brake the patern of going to these countries searching for porverty and human misery. I have been to Colombia and it is a magnificent counrtry with so much natural and human beauty and so much more to offer an artistic photografer that chanty towns.

these are great peices of work, they bring back happy memories so thank you xx

What a fantastic photos?
Really awesome.
Great work.

that's very beutiful pictures

Are you a bird ? Fantastic work :)

superb display.an art of photography which is done from d heart

Hi Jason,
I agree with Barbara. Beside who needs to be able to spell with your talent? Jelousy is a curse and those who can not give credit where it's due will never be recognised in their own endevours. Thank you so much for sharing your gift with us all.

Fabulous photos - thank you for sharing them!
