Snowscapes and untouched woodlands: Mesmerising photos from above capture Denmark's amazing landscapes
Michael Rasmussen is gaining widespread admiration for his stunning aerial images of trees around his homeland in Naestved, Denmark
- Photographer Michael Rasmussen has been shooting his stunning rural surroundings for more than 20 years
- Using a drone, he captures the rich greens of the treetops against the white snow and the geometric forest clusters
- Mr Rasmussen says his bird's perspective gives him the freedom to see places he has visited so often in a new way
A photographer is gaining widespread admiration for his stunning aerial images of trees.
Michael Rasmussen, a 39-year-old car parts salesman from Naestved, Denmark, describes himself as an 'amateur' despite his hobby spanning more than 20 years, and has only recently taken to the skies to photograph his breathtaking woodland surroundings from above.
Using a drone, he captures the rich greens of the treetops against the white snow and the geometric arrangement of the landscape.

Mr Rasmussen deftly captures the geometric patterns of the trees and their vivid green colour - and only very minimally retouches them
He has only recently taken to the skies to photograph his breathtaking woodland surroundings from above using a drone-mounted camera
Some include sweeping single roads slicing through the countryside and areas of
deforestation, man's fingerprint on the rolling landscape
He says of his craft: 'Having the bird's perspective gives me the freedom to see the world from different angles and in different lighting'

'I have so much fun flying with the drone and capturing images - it's like Christmas Eve every time I go out and get airborne.'
Mr Rasmussen never leaves anything to chance when it comes to shooting from above, and is particularly careful about disturbing his environment.
He said: 'I always take my time to get a feel of the place. Listening to nature and being on the lookout for wildlife I could scare with the drone.
'If something is there or something is off, I just don't fly and come back some other day.
'Checking wind speeds and the weather forecast before going is all very important when you are out there flying, and not something I have ever thought about before getting a drone.'

My Rasmussen says the drone brings a new quality and a different perspective to the places he's been to a thousand times before
He says: 'I want to try and capture the nature I so adore in this multi-dimensional world and present it through a two-dimensional tool'
