Above agriculture - a summer in the skies

Jason Hawkes has been taking aerial photographs from the skies above the UK for more than 20 years. Perched in the open door of a helicopter, hundreds of metres above the ground, his vantage point offers a colourful and striking view of the land below.

Here - with his latest set of images - he explains how he spent the summer of 2013 criss-crossing Britain, snapping the natural and manmade patterns and shapes that dominate our rural landscape.
