DRAMATIC PHOTOS OF OUR WORLD FROM ABOVE





Photography is a meditative practice for Toronto photographer Gary Cummins. Working in the construction industry by day, Cummins relishes his nights and weekends to explore his sky-high passion. “Photography for me is mainly time spent with myself.

A recent entrant to the 2018 Travel Photographer of the Year contest, Cummins' photography highlights how he prefers to see the world—soaring drones above intricate city grids and lush, untamed landscapes.

NEW ISLAND APPEARS OFF U.S. COAST





It appeared out of nowhere in April just off North Carolina's Outer Banks—a new land mass poking through the surf, a brand new Atlantic Ocean island. Along this dynamic stretch of sea, where the cold, southbound Labrador Current churns and crashes into warmer Gulf Stream waters, it is not unusual for patches of ground to emerge and then quickly subside. These are, after all, some of North America's roughest waters, a shallow region of swirling tides, hidden shoals, and harsh winds known to sailors as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Yet even for this place, this new formation is of a scale rarely seen. The crescent-shaped spit is close to a mile long. At its widest point, this island reaches a football field or more across.
