Aerial photos by Munich-based photographer Bernhard Lang of Versilia, the coastal area around the city of Viareggio in northern Tuscany, Italy. Shot from a helicopter in early September 2017, the images show the symmetrical arrangement of beach umbrellas from above—evenly spaced and color coded. At his website, Lang describes his interest in finding patterns and structures, which sometimes resemble abstract paintings, as well as capturing images that show the impact of human activities on nature and the environment. He states that “there is a formal beauty or a pleasant order on one hand, and on the other the transformation or destruction of original nature. To display this antagonism is the main thought of my work.”
