Stunning Aerial Photos Are The Only Views That Beat A Window Seat

Whoa. 🙊

You can't argue with the beauty of Berlin. Or Sydney, or San Francisco, or a variety of our other favorite travel destinations. A window seat was always the best way to see them... until now.

Aerial photographer Vincent Laforet is on a mission to capture the world's most stunning cities from 10,000 feet in the air. Using a helicopter and G-Technology for photos, he's compiled some of his most striking views into a new book, "Air," which features a glittering jewel box of cities that makes us want to travel, like, NOW.

Can you recognize these famous cities from way up high?
