AIR AND BEAUTY

Breathtaking photos taken by a DRONE camera reveal the colourful coastline of southern Australia

What can look boring from the ground can be beautiful from above, the photographer claims

THESE breathtakingly beautiful and vibrant images of the South Australian coast were taken using a high-flying drone.

They are the work of a young photographer known as Mr Bo, who also goes by the name SA from Above, and is based in Adelaide.

In 2015 he purchased his first drone and taught himself how to use it to create the bird's-eye vistas.

He said: "I like the way the drone can provide a view which you wouldn't normally see, something that may look boring on the ground can look amazing from the air."

He added: "I want to show everyone the beauty of the Australian landscape, we have everything here from rugged mountains to amazing blue beaches."
