The King of Saxony bird-of-paradise (Pteridophora alberti) is a bird in the bird-of-paradise family (Paradisaeidae). It is the only member in the monotypic genus Pteridophora.
The adult King of Saxony bird-of-paradise is approximately 22 cm long. The male is black and yellow with a dark brown iris, brownish-grey legs, aqua-green bill, with two remarkably long (up to 50 cm) scalloped, enamel-blue brow-plumes that can be independently erected at the bird’s will. The unadorned female is greyish brown with barred underparts.
The male’s ornamental head plumes are so bizarre that, when the first specimen was brought to Europe, it was thought to be a fake.

Back in July, Polish landscape photographer Jakub Polomski spent two weeks traveling around Iceland and shooting aerial photographs with his DJI Phantom 3 Advanced camera drone. The resulting photographs are gorgeous.
Polomski drove a total of 4000 kilometers (nearly 2,500 miles), both on the coastline and in the interior.
“Iceland is unique land, says Polomski. “Some locations look really abstract in the bird’s eye view.”
All the photographs you see in this post were captured by the Phantom’s 12-megapixel onboard camera.
Back in 2012, we shared a series of photos by Polomski showing mountain climbers dwarfed by the Alps. You can find more of the photographer’s work on his website, including the rest of this Iceland series.
