Brendan Austin takes landscape photography to jaw-droppingly new levels

As you can probably tell we love a good landscape and they don’t come better than this. Mixed Environments is a project by Brendan Austin, a man who is lucky enough to have lived in places like South Africa, Singapore, Thailand and New Zealand, and now resides in New York City. Brendan has travelled the world to give us rolling hills, chilly plains and a crazy yellow fog. This project shows us how magnificent our planet is, he has even managed to make pylons not look like eye sores. Don’t deny it, this is well and truly landscape porn.

High-voltage electricity pylons and power lines stretch across a rugged, brown mountainous landscape. The hills are barren under a pale, overcast sky.

A wide river flows between steep, rocky brown cliffs under a pale sky. A thick, white mineral band marks the shoreline where the water level has dropped.

Dark, jagged mountain slopes frame a deep valley. A thick, yellow-tinted mist fills the centre of the scene, obscuring the peaks.

Chunks of white and black ice float in a still, pale lagoon. In the background, a vast glacier flows down from snow-capped mountains under a cloudy sky.

A vast, flat desert landscape under a pale, hazy sky at dawn or dusk. A line of distant utility poles stretches across the horizon, fading into the mist.

A wide, flat expanse of dark, cracked earth leads toward a pale horizon. Soft, rolling sand dunes in shades of orange and red frame the landscape under a bright, hazy sky.
