【焦点大图】鸟瞰利比亚海岸

近日,空中摄影师贾森·霍克斯被派往利比亚,他的访问乘坐俄罗斯制造的Mi-8直升机,沿地中海海岸线飞行,拍摄的黎波里和几个古罗马遗址,包括塞卜拉泰和莱普提斯的。结果他拍摄了利比亚的图片,这些图片和该地区最近的一些照片不太一样,人类沿北非海岸居住超过了2000年,呈现出连续性。贾森还再次跟我们分享了一些他拍摄的其他图像。请看早些时候发的,显示伦敦和英国的夜空的图集。

Over Libya’s Coast

Recently, aerial photographer Jason Hawkes was on an assignment in Libya, with access to a Russian-built Mi-8 helicopter, He flew along the Mediterranean coastline, photographing Tripoli and several ancient Roman sites from above, including Sabratha and Leptis Magna. The result is a collection of images of Libya rather unlike most recent photos from the region, showing a continuity of more than 2,000 years of human habitation along the coast of North Africa. Jason was once again kind enough to share some of his images with us here. Be sure to also see an earlier story, showing the Night Skies of London and the U.K.
