Take in the world's tropical paradises from a different perspective
For travellers who have admired islands and beaches from our plane windows, we'd be hard pressed to be able to capture a truly beautiful birds-eye shot that isn't obstructed by the pesky airplane wing.
While we entertain the thought of buying and packing a drone with us on our beach vacations, we're perfectly happy to stare at these stunning photographs of beaches around the world, taken in oddly satisfying composition and symmetry.
