Aerial art photographer Louis Helbig recently gave an interview with CityTV Edmonton about his series "Beautiful Destruction":

Helbig explains his interest in the oil sands in the tension that arises between his truly beautiful images and the environmental disaster going on there. With his neutral aerial photographs, Helbig gives the viewers the opportunity to form their own opinion. This documentary approach nevertheless is an important contribution to the current debate.
