Botswana is a land of unmatched beauty, plentiful in wildlife and rich in culture, giving the country a magical and dreamlike quality.
New York City photographer Zack Seckler was able to capture the raw beauty of Africa from 500 feet above ground.
Botswana's prominent salt pans, diamond rich deserts and lush flood plains teeming with animals are all plain to see.
'Being above the ground at such low elevations, and having the ability to precisely maneuver, was like gliding over an enormous painting and being able to create brushstrokes at will,' Seckler said.
Seckler describes each frame as having its own stories in the movements of zebras and cows and they cross the land.
His first photographic exhibition is now on display at The Robin Rice Gallery in New York.
Kalahari Crossing: Seckler describes each frame as having its own story¿stories in the movements of zebras and cows and the delicate footprints they leave behind, feelings in the rippled water and vibrant vegetation
Botswana Bath: The black stripes of four zebras pop against the contrast of milky water and brilliant green moss
Lone Bull: Through his unique perspective, vistas once invisible to those on the ground or in a jetliner above are captured in exquisite detail
Tswana at Dawn: Being above the ground at such low elevations, and having the ability to precisely maneuver, was like gliding over an enormous painting and being able to create brushstrokes at will', said Zeckler
Tracks and water: The soft color palette re-imagines the African landscape into something ethereal, giving it a whimsical, fairytale quality
Moving west: The journey into Zack Secklers' photographic safari is one of muted hues and expertly composed composition
Okavango Swirl: A mass of vegetation can be seen from 500ft above the savannah
Intersection: Seckler was given unfettered access to an ultra-light aircraft and expert pilot. 'As soon as I saw the landscape from above I knew there was potential to create a special body of work.'
Wanderlust: Here we're presented with an aerial view of a lone cow basking in a body of milky-green water, and all is serene
Earth Water Fade: Tiny waves and trails create symmetrical patterns, appearing like perfect brushstrokes
Human trace: As he soars over the wildlife and its surrounding beauty, the earth deconstructs into parts and shapes and we see the subtle, aesthetic moments within the iconic landscapes. This rare view enabled Seckler to create images that are simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar
