Ocean To Sky India from the Air

This one-of-a-kind book, more than seven years in the making, is a dramatic photoexploration of the Indian subcontinent from the air. The breathtaking visuals, many of them photographed from over 30,000 feet from the cockpit of MIG fighter planes, and others from AN-12 transporters and MI-8 choppers, are a poetic mosaic of the stunning variety of India's entire landscape -- from ocean to sky. The Andaman Islands and the Indian Ocean in the south, the rain forests of the western coastline, the sparkling harbours of Goa, Rajasthan's golden sands, hamlets and tea plantations of the jungles in the North-east, the mighty peaks, glaciers and rivers of the Himalayas -- all combine in a profusion of kaleidoscopic images to make an awe-inspiring statement of the earth as art.Sharma, Rakesh is the author of 'Ocean To Sky India from the Air', published 2007 under ISBN 9788174363800 and ISBN 8174363807.
