Andre Ermolaev is a Russian photographer who takes aerial photographs of Iceland's landscapes that resemble abstract paintings. The photographs feature rivers and streams carrying sediment from volcanoes and glaciers, giving the water incredible colors and textures that could be mistaken for artwork. One photo shows the mouth of a river falling into the ocean, with a yellow brook joining but its currents not mixing with the main water flow.

1. Aerial Photos of Iceland That
Look Like Abstract Paintings

2. • Andre Ermolaev is a Russian photographer who takes incredible
aerial and landscape photographs. In his series entitled Iceland.
River., Andre shows us the beautiful environment of Iceland from
above.
• The rivers and streams shown, which are carrying sediment from
volcanoes and glaciers give the photos the incredible colors and
textures. The photographs could easily be mistaken for abstract
landscape paintings. Andre tells My Modern Met:
• “Iceland is a wonderful country; I would even say that it is a true
paradise for all the photo shooting-lovers. But what has become a
real discovery for me is the bird’s eye view of the rivers flowing
along the black volcanic sand. It is an inexpressible combination of
colors, lines, and patterns. The photo represents the mouth of the
river falling into the ocean.
A little bit upstream there is a yellow-colored brook flowing into the
river, but yellow currents fail to mix with the main water flow. One
can estimate the scale judging by the car tracks that are clearly seen
on the black sand. This is just a river, just a volcano, just our planet.”
