Alex MacLean's aerial photographs portray a history of human intervention with the landscape, the interaction of natural and constructed environments. One of the first things that comes to mind when I look at his images is the extent to which we have shaped our environment, and the effects of growing industries and population. There are many images on his site that are elegant studies from this unique perspective, showing us that human activities can seem harmless and stunning from above and even symbols of our destructive industrial past can be made beautiful by a skilled artist.
