So wildly diverse. Amazeing.

incredible! Thanks for those...

Fantastic pictures as per usual. I tried to pick one stand out photo but they were all amazing.

Stunning! These are the kind of photos I would like framed prints of.

wow....

I'm amazed that these photographs are only making it to the US now. They have been used in primary schools in Europe for a few years, to show them what is worth preserving. Enjoy the exhibitions when they come your way!

This is by far the best selection of photos I've seen on this blog so far.

Breathtaking. Literally. This is amazing.

Just to clarify - This exhibit is the NYC Debut of a US tour. The exhibit has been to the US once prior, to Chicago in 2002, apologies for the error.

Lots more at his website, too.

Nice pictures, but could've made do without the global warmism editorials.

beautiful and concerning.

My "bucket list" just grew. Thanks for the marvelous photos.

I missed more photos from Brazil and Asia. (China, Japan, Russia, India). But that's ok.

Incredible. Thanks so much for sharing.

> This is by far the best selection of photos I've seen on this blog so far.

thanks

That was such a stunning set of photos... Thank you so much!

Wonderful. I tell as many people as I can about this site, I'm so thankful for it.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand sold his helicopter a few years ago, saying he had enough of this gas-glutton machine.
He is now making a terrific serie of documentaries about people fighting for ecology at their own scale, and every ressources used for the making of the show is carbon-compensated, by helping sustanable developpement projects.

He is a bit our french Al Gore, and even if he his sometimes a bit preachy, he's making a truly amazing work. I wish everybody could see his recent work, this is so much better than Discovery channel short attention span documento-entertaino-crap.

they were beautiful picture- thanks for sharing!

Wonderful and amazing photographs! Puts my "earth level" photos to shame by comparison.

You've had some phenomenal collections here in the past, but this one takes the prize.
Quite, quite stunning,
Thankyou.

Sand Dune in Namibia: http://photos-729.ll.facebook.com/photos-ll-sf2p/v255/232/49/17827729/n17827729_35373884_6375.jpg

I was there a couple years ago.

this site was forwarded to me by a friend who knows I like photos...WOW! very cool - thanks so much!

The caption about depleted uranium isn't entirely accurate. Depleted Uranium is dangerous as a chemical agent, not a radioactive agent. It doesn't cause radiation poisoning, but if ingested as it forms a dust (via disintegration or if it catches fire) it can cause issues more in line with other chemical poisons.

Awesome. Just awesome! Feeling like a bird right now :)

This has to be my favorite entry to this blog thus far. Thanks so much for sharing!

i'm blown away...

Yes! Globaly! You guys rock!

But please, select the advertisers... "you´re the visitor 999999" makes the page so unprofessional.

Thanks for amazing pictures

I have to say, this may be the best series of photos I've seen on this blog yet! Thank you.

The different perspective puts it all in perspective.

Regarding 13 and depleted uranium. Take just one inexcusable crime like spread of DU dust by the U.S. and one feels outrage. Add them all up over the past 50 years and you stop being able to feel anything...

I saw the Earth from Above exhibition when it was in London, England, a few years ago. I remember some of these photos and would love to see the new ones large. It's hard to tear yourself away from these photos.

AMAZING

Absolutely incredible. I'll definitely see his show in NY. Saw him in London 8 years ago. These images are breathtaking in person.

I like,
If you like these pictures there is a nice documentary on our little planet called "Planet Earth" by the BBC (it was the basis for the movie "Earth") and it's in HD. It's very nice.

very nice. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you.

Stunning, thanks.

The most breathtaking collection of images I have ever seen; truly amazing.

I am speechless. Absolutely stunning images!

http://contentinacottage.blogspot.com

wow.

Regarding Peter and depleted Uranium, the caption doesn't state the mechanism of poisoning is radioactive. Secondly, depleted uranium (U-238) is in fact radioactive, it is an alpha emitter, and while that radiation isn't often a threat to people standing near it (as your clothing or skin will usually block it) if you've inhaled the dust, you've got radioactive particles being emitted from inside your lungs, and it's not a big leap to think that's probably bad for you.

The caption wasn't misleading, in my opinion. The sad truth is there hasn't been enough studies of the medical effects of DU, because the weapons business is the world's largest business.

I really enjoyed the pictures, I was disapointed when I reached the last one, it left me wanting more! Great work!!

breathtaking.
i didn't know that "Tree Of Life" really exists. one more dreamplace to visit.

These photos are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing!

"What a wonderful world"

whoa !
awesome .

Great photos but #24 looks a bit weird.. that lamp post going out of the dune is soooo tall..

Just beautiful, wow.

Just incredible. Thanks so much for your gifts.

That was pretty good.

My Favorite is the Island in the Philippines. Wow!

Yann Arthus-Bertrands photos are awesome! I've got one of his books. Love it!

Absolutely phenomenal set. I agree, this may be the best set I've seen here so far (and I've been here from the very beginning).

"but could've made do without the global warmism editorials"

From the top of the page:

"Photographs and captions all courtesy of Yann Arthus-Bertrand."

So, no, there is no global warmism *editorials*. And if you're against environmental activism, then don't bother with the exhibition because, as it's made clear, again, at the top of the page, that's what all these photos are about.

Personally, I can't wait to see it myself in NYC next year. I'll definitely take a drive down there.

beautiful views of parts of the world one seldom knows to exist, let alone see. bravo, may we join hands to keep the beauty for the future

I think I saw these in Singapore in October 2005. It was really awesome, and definitely worth to go and check it out.

Isn't our Earth just beautiful?

These photographs really took my breath away and made me wish I had a private plane to fly me all over the world taking pictures.

I don't know what to say other than I want to go to NYC to see them in person -- absolutely stunning!

Thanks

What an amazing collection of images. Splendid! Makes us want to travel even more.

No question about it, I'm taking a trip to NY to see this exhibit. I agree with many others - this one is favorite so far of all the entries you've ever done. What an amazing world we live in.

These just prove that you don't have to waste your life preying in the hope that one day you will magically be transported to paradise: we're already here.

We just need to open our eyes and see it then we might save ourselves from destroying it.

What an amazing Planet we live on...

Let's take better care of it, shall we?

I agree. These are phenomenal. I am sending them on. Barb

I have a book by this photographer called 366 Days, i suggest that everyone get a copy because these are just samples :)

absolutely amazing! what an awesome world we live in - whether au-natural or un-natural - the photography is splendid and shows just how small we are!

these are amazing!

Amazeing.

no words...

wow!! i love pictures like this. this makes me want to travel everywhere!!

It is absolutely amazing and stunning to see . I am speechless after seeing sand dunes, deforestation for wood pulp,copper extraction etc etc
One can see them repeatedly many a times for reference and understanding..

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have nothing to say :|

Just beautiful....and thanks for the tip about the photo exhibit next year!

Check out this photographer's large-scale coffee-table book, containing some of these (and similar) prints filling the entire page, no margins -- it's a wonderful afternoon paging through "Earth From Above."

tremendous

That's the greatness of GOD!!

I wish humans could finally become conscious and so willingly share and care for our wonderful planet and its inhabitants both florarand fauna.

Wow.
Big Picture is making a difference, every time.

Thank you for the visual treat

Awesome! thanks for the visual avalanche!

Great pictures and perspectives. Thank you for sharing this with the web.

Excellent Snaps

Incredible shots, thank you for sharing!

Amazing series of beautiful photos with their particular POV and diversity of stunning details are really gorgeous. The description below each one is equally valuable giving another approach to some remote but wonderful places of our planet. Hat off for this.

Viewing these images, we see ourselves as part of something so much larger. . . . .the human is dwarfed by the landscapes, and hypnotized by its exotic and phenomenal beauty. The fun is guessing where and what.

Ïðåâåä!

these pictures are really amazing.... i m sure if you look at some areal pictures of the Maldives Islands you all will be amazed too....

Thanks for sharing! These photos are inspiring!

Absolutely Awesome..

Best photography I ever seen.... Gr8 job.

Awesome!!!

Easy if you have budget like this ..

Hi Yan, Terrific Photos. I think with such an important exhibition coming up showing potentially huge numbers of people these photos and captions and wanting to gain the hearts and minds of poeple to preserve our wonderfull planet it's worth ensuring the accuracy of information presented in captions. I noticed something you may like to correct, just the figure of 66 million cubic feet mentioned in photo 23 actualy equates to 1.87 million cubic metres (not 18 million cubic metres) as there are 35.31 cubic feet in a cubic meter. Re photo 27. I wonder how so many Egyptians died, if at the same time, chasing Isrealites??

i love this pic very muce it is amazing and incredible

#18, #20, and #28.... my favorites...

Truly magnificent, I love "Earth from Above" galleries....

really superb. no words to explain the beauty of the photographs taken.

Just.. Fantabulous Pics. The pics reflect a great Overhead taken.

Very beautiful photos. He is my favorite photographer in the world!

Excellent.. no words to say!.. I love these!.. Wish I had access to these to take photos like these!..

Suurepärane see maailm!

wowowowowowowo...................im from china but I think you Americans are very creative

stunning photographs. love them.

Wow wow wow!! All are absolutely incredible!

These are some of the best pics i ever saw ! We humans need to respect mother nature and try to live with it, instead of ravaging for his selfish needs. If we give respect, nature will respect us !!

Ganesh INDIA

You take the most amazing pictures!
The only thing worth clicking on in boston.com

Absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!

Of course these photographs are amazing but they are very well-known and have been much published / exhibited over the past 10 years or so... I've been following this blog for its original selections so although the pics are beautiful, the post is disappointing!

There is so much art in the reality of every day life. Thanks to our photographer, who is comfortable flying in the air above, we get to see the beauty of the "unintentional art " created by nature and humans.

what a beautiful and stunning reminder of what a microscopic part of this earth we humans are.

you have a delicate way of illustrating the natural beauty of our planet, and the affect we have on it, without coming accross as condescending.

i applaud you sir, and hope that someday i have the chance to see earth as you have.

thank you for sharing!

Wonderful, wonderful photographs.

Most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. Amazing how beautiful in our World.

Always an eye pleasing pleasure to see excellence in photography! These photos made the pleasure also a lesson. Will we ever learn to stop damaging and soiling our own living space/place? Congratulations to Bertrand for excellence in photo journalism AND for sharing the works with us.

...si toate au fost create de mana lui Dumnezeu! Slavit sa-I fie Numele!

We have been to many of these countries ,but to see them from the
air gives a very differant perspective. It really is a wonderful world & travel has been a special priviledge Thank you

To see the world through your eyes was an amazing treat! Great job!

WOW! Thats all i can say.

Good Lord! This photographer has really put his traveling to use!

As imagens são belas e tecnicamente perfeitas.

even for this site, which is constantly amazing, this is an amazing collection of photographs

I love the power of unusual perspectives to make us think differently about the world we inhabit and the power we have upon it

also, I plan to shamelessly ape the idea (taking photos from above) if I ever get the opportunity!!!

Thank you, God, because I live here!
Thank you, Sir, to show us how beautiful the Earth is!

Absolutely stunning!

These are some of the most amazing pics.No words can describe.

Simply incredible!! I can't believe some images are actual photos, some of them seems like art paintings made by a brush instead a camera...

Absolutely breathtaking aerial photos.

lovely

Very beautiful but subjects are always in the center of the picture, this is really boring

wow, humans are awsome!!

amazing, thats just what needed to see today.

unbelievable

I must confess that in my 79 years of life, I have never seen such a truly amazing selection of phoyos.FANTASTIC.

We may, over time, ruin what we see in these pictures, but the beauty of it is that long after humans or gone (or we've gained wisdom), nature will likely rebound.

Incredible, unbelievable, touching... what more can i say? I he would bring his work to germany :)

Cheers Chan from TheJunction

Mind Blowing

thank you for sharing

muito lindo, maravilhoso mesmo!

Can I come along on the next flight!?

Amazing pictures. The subjects are what steals the show here. It all reminds me of the work of Robert Cameron.

amazing perspectives of places most of us would never have the chance to see (or even hear of). such beauty. thankful to have had the chance to just view the images. can't imagine seeing these places in person. amazing.

Saw all these fantastic pictures blown up in a Market in Prague (under a bridge I think) - Lovely to see them on the screen.

STUNNING!!!!....thats the word to define it
marvelous pictures!!!!

Really very nice ;)

Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Great work!!!!

Amazing. Wow

This set of photos really made me think about the beauty of this planet and how resilient terra firma really is. If it's been around for billions or millions of years, it's astounding at how long it's lasted through all the global catastrophes and cycles.

Stunning. Definitely awe-inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

aerial eye candy... mesmerizing!

Those are stunning photographs!! It's amazing to see how beautiful nature is and how much there is to see/visit in the world. These pictures really capture the essence of life as it comes...in all its forms.

Words can't express the joy of seeing such beautiful pictures.

Eu agradeco ao grande Deus todo poderoso por essa maravilha que eh o mundo que vivemos. OBRIGADO!

Amazing! I looked a long time at each photo. One meditates on them. It is obvious how closely we are tied to this earth and all its movements, its destiny is ours.

Wow. This blog is the best website on the net! It belongs on a national newspaper or magazine site so more people can find it!

Must have taken years to photogragh all these wonderful pictures.I feel now i have taken a trip around the world on my pc. To see these pictures on my pc s wonderful enough. But to be there in real life must be amazing thank you for making this posible for all of us to see .Elaine Theobald England

Stunning. I had absolutely no idea earth cointains so much beauty.

Makes you think about the big picture, and want to travel and see the world.

C'est Magnifique!

These are magnificent, thank you! It's hard to believe that it's been 17 years since that monstrous volcano (Pinatubo) engulfed my village. I left the Philippines during the eruption and I was the lucky ones that's able to escaped. I thank American people for helping my country. Once again, I appreciate you posting these magnificent photos from all over the world. Keep up the good work and I'm sure there are tons of people who appreciate your work. God bless!

Thanks for including the map links.

They say a picture says a thousand words-these surely surpass that thought!
WOW!!!

incredible!!!

So this is what God looks at every day!

# 20 Makes me want to move home to New England

In April 2007 we had "the earth from above" exhibition here in Wanaka, New Zealand during the festival of colours, and we were so lucky to have some of Yanns wonderful pictures on display in such a small place.
Yes, Earth is beautiful
Bravo again and great to see some new images

stunning..... just amazing

Absolutely amazing.
That's our world, and well, we stil have amazing places alive.

ekdum jordar photos che

"This graveyard of tanks will bear witness for many years to" what? the overweening evil of Saddam Hussein? the necessity of force to stop evil in its tracks? the liberation of a people from a dictator? No, silly! "To to the damage that war causes both to the environment and to human health." Ah yes, human health! No one cared about the human health of the children in Saddam's prisons! The photos are beautiful, though, so I guess it's all OK.

Its easy to take pictures like that if you have a chopper....

wery, wery nice pictures ;):)))

Oh my god. Just.. Amazing.

What a wonderful and breathtaking world we live in!
Thank you :))

AS,,, just because you knew of this artist does not mean thousands of us have seen his work before. I enjoyed it for the first time. If you didn't like this Blog, move on and stop gripping.

Pooh on AS and his bored comment. This first-time viewer was entranced.

Unbelievable!!!

Photographs are highly appreciated for their stunning beauty, but less for the accompanying politcized commentary.

I saw the display in Montreal a few years ago. It is totally breathtaking and thought-provoking. You won't be the same after you see it.

that certainly displays how beautiful this place is called "earth".
All of a sudden, i want to go travelling again.

No words to describe.. awesome

Estas fotos são realmente fantásticas! Nunca vi nada igual. Estou recomendando aos amigos para que vejam também. Impressionante!
(From Brazil)

amazing -too bad we are doing our best to destroy the beuatfulplanet we have...

Is this how God sees us? We look pretty miniature in the scheme of things. Doesn't the tank photo make war look like waste? What a beautiful photo experience!

WOW......UNBELIEVABLE...NOW WE KNOW WHAT WE WILL SEE FROM HEAVEN......DIANNE

Breathtaking...

Look at this beautiful world we all live in!! WOW!! This is OUR home regardless of which country we are from. It makes me wish that we remember that we all have this one home when we get ready to go to war with each other.
Let's do whatever it takes to save our planet.

I am really amazed

We are so big... yet we make ourselves so small with our human thoughts and deeds.

I cannot find the words to describe the photos. Beautiful, amazing, unbelievable........they don't seem to do the photos justice. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see so much of the world that I didn't know existed. I can travel the world thru the photos. Please continue to give us an eagle-eye view.

I have been an amateur photographer for years and these are the most beautiful photos that I have ever seen. What a history lesson too. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing.

The Green paddy field in Pokhara Nepal looks amazing

I'm not a photographer and my comments may not mean much, but this body of work is simply incredible!

Now, what did Pete in comment 210 say? Boring, because subjects are in the center. Well, where do you put your subject? In the corner, or perhaps on the margin outside the frame? C'mon, thousand others may see it differently.

Unbe'f*cking'lievable!!!

wow, these pictures are amazing! :D
#35 almost looks like a painting haha

Proof that the world is a beautiful place

Beautiful, wonderful . It would be nice look and see who is more than the time to take care of our earth.

Amazing, breath taking. Thank you for sharing such wonder.
We have to do wherever is in our power to help preserved such beauty. As "guardia ambiental" I bealive in taking care of our planet, don't let it die.

Como "guardia ambiental", creo fuertemente en el cuidado de nuestro planeta. Estas fotografí­as, nos dan una prueba de lo mucho que podemos perder, o mejor dicho, que estamos perdiendo, no lo permitamos!

Too much for the mind at one sitting. Need to look at these wonderful photos over and over again, but who has the time?

Absoutely incredible! I've traveled just a little bit before to several countries, but never saw any of this before! From one picture, it looked like France was in South America! Paris certainly didn't capture it all...

Amazing Pictures ....Awesome :)

I can just hope we humans can understand the treasures we have on our planet, and how delicate it is to preserve them this way. We should all be conscious of the little things we can do to preserve such beauties.

its awesome.....too good.

these are mind blowing pictures.

Awesome but these photos exemplify how urgently we need to cherish our earth Natalie

Incredibly...... Unbelieveable.... Awesome....!!!!!!

God is just awesome for making this planet so brilliant and beautiful.

Sungguh menakjubkan ciptaan Allah! Tahniah kepada Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

Awesome, made my day.

Only GOD could have come up with all this beauty.

Thank you! Let's keep passing them on!
They bring new meaning to "home".
Barbara

Lovely!! I've been looking at the pictures for the past hour!! Can't get enough!

mindblowing pictures, makes me want to keep on travelling all my life !

Nearly every photo carries the same message: Beauty, yes! Awesome beauty! And all of it at risk from our increasing numbers. Shall all of it perish before we learn to curb our appetites--and our numbers? Pray we realize 'EXCESS OF EVERYTHING' will be our undoing, and that of so much Beauty!

Absolutely Fabbbbbbbulous!! Yann Arthus-Bertrand is certainly one of the most patient photographers who has an unique eye to capture breathtaking pictures like these! Thanks a ton for sharing them!

really marvelous pics...

Fricking Amazing. These photos really show you The Big Picture. Thanks again!

its jussssssssst mindblowing...........the world is a beautiful place!!!! i just hope i can atleast explore one of these in my life......;)

superb

breathtaking!!! too good! :)

my favourite picture is four.as if bring me another world,fantastic!

Thanks for sharing. All are great photos.

Thank you for sharing these mesmerizing images. It makes you wonder about the state of our planet and how far we will go to destroy it. So easy it is for man to keep taking from the earth and not think about giving back. When I see these images, I think how lucky we are to have such an amazing planet. Why do not our leaders of the world not see this, and want to change how we structure our priorities. The tanks, remind me of the current war and how much poisons and rubbish we leave behind, a reminder hardly ever seen. Yann Arthus-Bertand's photos bring the closeness of beauty and the harshness of human kind together. Please bring your show to Seattle, we welcome it. It is needed in these uncertain times.

These images are absolutely stunning. They provide a different perspective. So much so, that hopefully they can be an agent for change in our relationship with our shared home.

OXYENNO!!!

a world of beguiling beauty lies before us and it takes one special beholder to open our eyes to it.
Thank you

A really nice view of our Earth from the camera point of view, it makes you wonder how beautiful is our Earth and why we do such things to degrade its beauty. A BIG QUESTION for all involved in Earth destruction, as we can see in some of these photos (photo nr. 13, 23, 25, 33 and also 35). Shame that we destroy this wonderful environment, and pity that we are too small to do something in its protection!

So beautiful in it's glory, so sad to see what man can do to our mother at times (like the Barrios and copper mines) but not always....the clever farmers of rice and tea and the mosiac of small plots in Ireland....there's hope for us yet.

breathtaking....

á㯥à¯ã¯¥à!

My life seems empty after viewing this beauty.

Wow!!

It is a weird and wonderful world!

Now we know what we are destroing.
Most mar tudjuk mit teszunk tonkre.

Who took these photos?

Чудово!!!
Great!!!

...and then people say there's no God? please... Thats His beautiful artistic touch...heaven on earth.

The pictures are fabulous! The commentary, however, is political, emphasizing 'green' conclusions and conservation objectives. As a bynote, the Iraqi tank 'graveyard' pictured is not radioactive, and no radioactive dust cloud is or was ever observed. I was there, measuring those factors.

Yann Arthus-Bertrand is an institution in France and should be around the world, please support him in his works. His books are amazing a lots of the benefits go to global environmental associations.

Woow....Amazing...And really cool the explanation with every pic....I miss that most of the time!

Superb! Thank you.

I wish I could fly. Too bad Jesus couldn't fly, otherwise you might have seen these photo's sooner. Long live the beatufiul things in our world that actually exist.

By turns stirring and infuriating, this collection strikes a diplomatic balance between pristine beauty and unfolding ecocide. What's really heartbreaking, though, is that so many previous commenters seem unable to account for the natural beauty on display here without attributing it to their civilized conception of God. The kind of god that the same people who are destroying this planet in their hubris could see fit to worship could never have created something so varied or so largely inhospitable to His supposed favorite species. Or are these people seeing the beauty of their own handiwork in the pictures of desecration? That would explain their catching God's reflection in it.

It's amazing how our world is! It's beautiful!!! I hope to see one of these someday!

Annette

Yes, these picture are gorgeous . . . but why are there so many god shout-outs? You know there is no god right? You creationists scare me.

Man *just* did NOT deserve such a beautiful planet. He is just plundering it. More than feeling happy, I feel bad that this is all slowly being lost. I feel sorry for all the other beautiful creatures who own this planet more than humans. All merely because of man's greed.

Unique photos. Think of how wonderful things would look in the future if human population would be controlled and it decreased to from near 7 billion to a sustainable 2 billion.

Awesome pictures and photography........................
Just showcases the beauty of Nature

these pictures are amazing and fotographer is also fantastic !!!

Brilliant, what a view for my morning tea, and a refreshing revelation. It is a reminder how precious a gift we were have in this planet, and how we are bonded by our collective responsibility for it.

Thank you, Arthus-Bertrand, for shareing you're talent and makeing us all more aware of this wonderful world.

So beautiful!

wow

MUY BONITAS!!! COMO SE LO HA PASADO EL TIO DE VIAJE

awsome pics :)

Stunning!

Very Tired... :-)

Das sind aber schöne Bilder!

I love it ... thanks tomi :)

Fannnnnnnnnntastico, thanks for the opportunity to see and enjoy this photos

que gonorrea que chimba y muchos hijueputas los venezolanos de mierda

Thanks, what a beautiful world which we rarely tend to appreciate, unbelievable pics

awesome

Is a little sanple of the magestic and amazing world charming beauty. It is live alive.....

Breathtaking pictures!
All those pictures shows to cherish this beautifull world we have.
If we keep poluting this world then it won't take much time to destroy this world of ours.

Wow, It opens the narrow mind, and fills it with a little bit of God's view.

I don't understand all of you who keep saying that we are destroying the earth and blablabla, what we do has little to no impact whatsoever, and even if we did it would just be incredibly selfish to think it's destroying the earth. The earth will be here long after the human race dies out somehow.
The real destroyer of the earth will be the sun once it burns up and expands to destroy everything around it.
And the pictures are indeed nice, but let's not make them bigger than they really are. :)

Just amazing how we and nature/God form such huge patterns

God truly is an artist. I have never heard of most of these places. They are spectacular! You are too, so talented and knowledgable about the world.

Thank you so much for sharing God's handy work.

absolutely fantastic..i will be sure to see the show while in NYC in Feb Thanks!!!!

âîïùå ñóïåð =) respect

absolutely beautiful.........more people should take the time to see what their own back yard beholds. The earth is an amazing work of art. I hope we can hold on to it for future generations. Excellent photography.

What I have been thinking for some time....with so much beauty around all of us, why are we fighting and destroying each other? Can't we just sit back and
enjoy what God has given us???

Awesome pictures, interesting text, thanks Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
For those who would like to see more, I can only recommend you to take a look at his marvelous book: "Earth from Above: 365 Days". It contains a collection of pictures, just as beautiful as the one you saw here.

thanks for the trip....

NIEC!!

so beauriful

A mighy creation of Elohim, Praise His Set-Apart Name

These are fantastic awesome Pictures.

can someone drive me to the tank graveyard in Iraq?

"By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." Genesis 3:19

If you enjoyed these pictures, you'll love Yann-Arthus Bertrand's series, which has 2 parts, Fragile planet and Saving our earth. Brilliant!

We must do all we can to preserve our beautiful world.

Only the God of the universe could create such beauty for us to see!!

is this real??????????????

No onpas taas hienoja..

Very inspirational and humbling.... the print descriptions are the frosting on the cake. Thank you Yann-Arthus Bertrand.

Wow!! Unbelievable!! Wonderful pictures.

Fantastic Photos giving you a look at parts of the world you are not likely to visit

Lahe,mulle meeldis!

The Lord has given us wounderful gifts we should all be greatful.
Thank you for the beautiful sights.

I have to see these places! My goal is to go to every continent before my 25th.

Cum carago!

This is so Cool!!! It is so amazing!!!!

you can still see everything here

Truly magnificent, what a beautiful place Earth is! Hope we can all contribute to keep it this way.

And again... thank you again.

really striking photos, beautiful as always. it's nice to see the home land getting a mention as well :D
are some of the photos missing, or is my connection crazy?
damian, ireland

Absolutely moving photos. Amazing photographic talent

Stunning images. I do however reject the comment on the tank graveyard; there were never a million depleted uranium shells fired during the war. The alpha particles of depleted uranium can be stopped by a piece of paper. The danger from the dust they produce in a battle ground is if it gets into the body, as in windblown dust. The radioactivity of depleted uranium is approximately 60% the radioactivity of natrual uranium.

God has created a wonderful environment for us to live!

wow! spectacular!

Curious bias of Godspam in the comments, of course. Ah well.

wow it makes me feel small to see how big my world really is

Godspam!

Wow. there amazing. How did you get them?

Magnificent, beauty extravagant! Humanity's need to take better care of our earth.

Photography is just superb and fantastic!!!. Great Work Yann. Please save our environment as Humans are the greatest destroyers!.

What an awesome PLANET EARTH we have, NATURE is so amazing.

one of you said this is "a new art form", its called photography...been around for awhile

Simply Stunning!

Beautifull

Äàààà. Ôîòêè îòëè÷íûå.

I quickly scanned the pictures, thought have to look at these in slow time, got home and saw that we were only allowed to see 10 of the 38 - why?? I want to see more, doubt if the exhibition will get to North Yorkshire .......

çàåáèñü =)

WOW! it is beautiful World. Hope we will leave it like that for the future generations !

i love this stuff, i sat looking at this with my boyfriend for hours last night. we love stuff like this and would love to see more together.

awesome pics..!!

Marvellous

Excelent.

Come for the photos, stay for the religious bollocks. Lovely photos too, and I'd have love to have been the photographer, but alas all I can do this evening is sit at my PC and appreciate the skill and effort of others. People that is.

First time I've seen the term 'godspam' on the tubes but it's very appropriate. How many people, so indoctrinated into the Cult of the Dead God that their self-identity has been completely swallowed, feel the need so badly to godspam completely non-religious posts and threads just to see their names in print?

These are really surprisingly beautiful and eye-catching views. It shows what God had made and what man has done, especially the melting of the ice due to global warming.

i hate comments

beautiful

Its a beautiful world out there for everyone,... problem is every one wants to possess it....live and let live !!!

it is cool!!!!!!!!!!!olgutjers

beautiful. Thank you for the voyage.

I was sent this link by my brother. I was so touched by many of the images and will pass it on to others. These are really fantastic photos!!!

I disagree that our misdoing has little or no impact on mother earth. Just consider every individual leaving a piece of litter around. Soon you have a mountain of rubbish. The pictures are indeed awsome. Could man have brought them about?
Only God can. Let's go back to the Bible "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.. Genesis 1:1

Here's a google cache version with all 38 (not only the 10 that are here) pics, get it while its hot!

link

Superb visuals, Thank you Yann Arthur Bertrand
This Text by Joachim Neander sums it all
" Praise to the lord who over all things
So wonderously reigneth, shelters thee under his wings,
Yea so gently sustaineth "

so many lives passed between two streets..

If you're going to bring your god into this then don't forget to attribute all the rape, torture, murder, genocide, disease and all forms suffering in the world to your god as well.

I never understand how people give all the good stuff to god and not hold him accountable for everything else as well.

At least Darwin had evidence.

Or otherwise use the brain that evolution gave you to think for yourself and appreciate the pictures for what the are - snapshots of a steadily disappearing time.

nice pics but leave off the slanted commentary. 1,000,000 DU rounds fired during the first gulf is bulls**t . also DU is not radioactive hence the name depleated. du is also not a known major cancer cause, it is toxic if injested just like lead or other heavy metals.

Lovely & provacative.

cool

Nii ilus...........................

A wonderful collection showing different points of our earth, I only hope it will be here for our future generations.

Breathtaking!

Already we are seeing these places in pictures, we should give chance for our successors

its all so beautiful without any boundries!!!!!!!!!

A beautiful selection. Cok guzel.

Nature at its Best...

pretty kool

Great Pictures....
Pollution? ... as long a population increases , pollution will outrun any efforts to somewhat control ... space/resources/ability to control pollution are not infinite...

...extraordinary and remarkably well done...

Excellent, I feel like I have traveled in space and time. Thanks!!!

Until I read the caption, I thought the Ivory Coast worker was lying
on a giant cauliflower. Even after reading the caption I thought the
picture was otherworldly. I am grateful to that picture and all the
others for showing that there is more to see in this world than I could
have imagined.

(Mr.) Jazz De Cou

Truly amazing..!!!!

Photographs make us aware of the global perspective where and what we are on the planet.

excellent work done.congratulations

Amazing visuals....awesome....its our duty to ensure the ecological preservation of most of these places for our children .....kudos Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

BREATHTAKING.

Really great pictures.

who wants to ruin this ?........

Cool Nice pics

Let us all go out and try to keep this planet ready for our children. It's beautiful, and the only one we have.

really amazing places, and very beatiful
thank you big bang, for providing us with such amazing sights
and thank you science for allowing us to see them

Each past generation did something wrong (slavery, holocaust, human rights, etc).

What we do wrong is how we treat the Earth. Future generations will blame us when they will see these beautiful pictures showing how our planet used to look like.

Time to do something about it.

Religion is a silly bias to bring into such objective beauty. Spiritually moving, yes, biblically affirming? Well, you can use any evidence in the right context to validate your belief. Leave beauty alone; to let it be caged by religion is to sanitize its unbiased potency.

Wow Just pure beauty

ONE SINGLE WORD:
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Marvelous Excellent work Pretty Great photos

These are totally awesome. after anyone seeing these how could they not believe in the Creation by God.

love in iran

Wow!!!!! Amazing!...... God is Great!!!!! :)....

Is there anything so beautiful as nature?

Awesome. Very beautiful images to behold.

You go to your bible and I'll do to my equally provable Greek myths of creation.

Either way this is amazing.

I have heard stories of Morrocan guides who take you into the middle of their village to buy a rug. If you disagree with the price of the rug they will let you find your own way back!

sorry to see that there is another pile of yankee junk cluttering up the world. too bad they don't take their crap home when they take the resources and leave.

what happened to the rest of the pictures?!?! There were quite a few more the other day - now there are only a few here.

Very nice by the way.

Great Photographic work, has a great sence of beautiy. Love God and he will protect. Have to remember that God did this for us to keep...Praise his name forever and His Son Jesus or what ever YOU call him!!!! Thans for having these on line.....

wow, astonishing

Wow - thanks 4 sharing a glimpse of the high cost 'human choices' have caused to our planet earth, yet beauty still reigns! The images are brillant in capturing the 'moment'. Totally blessed!

God Almighty has created such a beautiful world for us to live in, only we are bent to turn it into a 'shit hole'. Humans must take a U-turn now. Let us pledge today to make a positive difference.

Absolutely stunning, breathtaking, and beautiful.

Not so much with the editorials put under the pictures, which only served to ruin my enjoyment as all editorials are opinion, and not fact based. As a matter of fact, pretty easily shown to be false with current science data. Toss the editorials, keep the pics.

Thanks for posting them

mother nature rules

very cool

Thanx for a wonderful feast to the eyes !!

We'll all burn in hell!!!
Obviously we'll end up living on a plant like Venus thanks to the general retardness of most humans that unfortunately devour our oxygen and waste the cosmos's vast and generous atoms!

People all around the World need to start paying attention to the fucking World and not their stupid, pathetic selves.
Think about it anyway, the Earth will out live all of us, so why even both putting yourself above the Earth, when you are already a ticking time-bomb!!

Death to Iraq!!

Breathtaking and sobering

Truly Awesome!!, I still look at this wonderful thing called Mother Nature and cannot find the words to describe its sheer wonder and beauty. The vastness of it all and the endless diversity. My eyes took it all in and loved every scene. Sadie C. of Ky.

Simply Legendary!

amazing scenes!

I love these pictures.

They're just... amazing :D

great pictures

This has being going on since Earth was created and earth was devevolped
by man. Many solutions have been suggested over the years and and it it appears
that respones by Earth people are very slow.
We can only hope that the people wll se the light beforemit is to late to change.

It requires guts and pateince to come up with such assets!!
Manificent work !!!

all of you are insignificant.

OHHHH GREATTT
FANTASTICS ALL THE PICTURES

its reallly fantabulous.....................................................

beautiful pictures!

It's not OUR world to caretake. The world produced us. We need to respect it and coexist within its systems, and minimize our up-to-now selfish consumption and careless impact on these systems, but we would be arrogant to call ourselves the caretakers.

Çàèèñü, ìíå ïîíðàâèëîñü!!! Àìåðèêàíöû Grazy. Ruusin GOOL!!!!!!!!!

"after anyone seeing these how could they not believe in the Creation by God"

Well, they might reason like this: 'creation' is a story, in a book written by some long-dead men. Why should I trust them? Did they even claim to be writing down facts?

Here are some facts:
Just because something is complex, doesn't mean it was made.
Just because a thing is huge, doesn't mean it was made by a huge white-bearded deep-voiced person.
And just because you grew up with parents watching over you, doesn't mean a giant invisible proxy-parent is still doing so.

And here's another fact: Christian and post-Christian nations are the ones most responsible for destroying what we see in these photos.

So please don't use science images as Christian propaganda.

Î÷åíü âïå÷åòëèëî. Êðàñèâ íàø ìèð è õðóïîê.

Jawdroppingly spectacular and beautiful imagery. A masterpiece and pure inspiration for the rest of us - thank you

Odd that we have to see ourselves from so far away in order to see ourselves. Now let's look close up.

what a pic.

*le sigh* ...these are all incredible.

Astounding Photos thank you for sharing. Just an obersivation it never ceases to astound me the number of people who seem to be concerned by the degedration to the enviroment yet continue to persecute the people who are doing the best job possible to take care of their own snall area. The beter you do at looking after your area thr more you are harrased

Qué fotirris! Algún día me encantaría poder sacar fotos como esas! Me quito el sombrero...

nice

superb ! exhilarating breath taking ... simply wow ! .....

Awesome

This is totally amazing. The World is an amazing place. i agree with 550 with the live and let live. and i think that we need to see more of these stunning photos

thanks for sharing these photos. tgis planet is so special, miraculous and lovely. trudy taylor, chilmark, mass. u.s.a.

minnndddd blloooowinnnngu

theres a new problem now, it's a beautiful world, but nobody can pay for it any longer :P

OMFG!
AWESOME!

simply awesome. beautiful and breathtaking.

So what about all the ugly parts of the world? Is there less god in them? Did god slack off on the ugly parts and figure "eh, nobody will notice"

I can kick your god's ass, and until he proves otherwise my word stands.

Pollution and urbanization are by definition the product of people. More people equals more pollution and urbanization. You cannot correct these problems without reducing breeding, Period.

JUST THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE THESE PICS. BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THESE ARE SOOOO COOL!!!!!!1 I LOVE THEM!

God is truely awsome! What a wonderful creator we have. By the way, the sin and death, that is the work of us, not God. Get a grip. ---John 3:16---

I must say that these pictures are amazing! They hit on the beauty of the world and also point out the sufferings. I hope that these pictures will be able to travel the world so that we can cherish what we have.

Let the beauty of nature stand on it`s own merits,without all the twisted,idiotic political commentary fouling up the issue.

These are truly amazing pictures. Only God can take the credit for creating our planet for us. He gave us beauty for our eyes to behold. He gave us water air and fruits and vegetables to sustain us. He also gave us each other for companionship and for help in time of need. When we make choices to destroy our neighbors we not only destroy them we destroy ourselves. There are always consequences for the good and bad things we do to each other and to our planet. As God created the world for all of us only God can save us from destroying our planet and each other. Give thanks to God for the beauty and Pray for His help.

glen teen: Depleted Uranium doesn't mean it isn't radioactive (it is, as there aren't non-RA isotopes of U), it means it has been used up in processes, and is not useful anymore (mostly other elements, won't sustain a reaction, etc.)

It is harmful, and will cause cancer if dust is breathed in or if somehow ingested (just like any other RA isotope). It *may* not be dangerous if external, but internalized where the radiation can wreak havoc with live cells (alpha and beta can't penetrate enough through skin to be problamatic outside the body) and you can cause genetic damage and cancer.

I appreciate that this dude has to sell his art to make a living, but i dont live near NYC, nor will i ever get a chance to pay to see one of his exhibits.. so dropping from 38 pics to 10 is a bummer for me.. art isn't if there's a cover charge.

Fabulous pictures of our Mother Earth. We have a challenge to try to keep our Earth beautiful. PLEASE DO YOUR PART!

I love that the captions include links to the sites on Google maps.

My favourite is the view of the dune in Egypt. The map reveals that they have build a new section of road to skirt around the dune!

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=25.378462,30.397367&spn=0.020356,0.029655&t=k&z=15

Mother Earth is worth respecting and protecting.
All our "small" choices add up.
Let's "intend" a more peaceful existence: more diplomats and fewer warriors.
These photos inspire us to do our best. Thanks.

These photos are the highlite of my evening. It's a lot to dream about !

The photographers of these pictures should recieve the equivalent of the Nobel Price for Excellence

SIMPLY SPECTACULAR, NATURE'S BEAUTY AT IT'S BEST.
LOVE IT.

But we are destroying our planet...
Good work!

These photos make you realize how small humans are in this world...

very nice
Iran has very nice place for your taste

this is very very beautiful I wish I could see these pictures in reality.

Many thanks for showing our lovely planet, Hope we wake up to not damaging futher.It's too beauitful to spoil.

SIMPLESMENTE IMPRESSIONANTE!
SÃO ESTES OS SITIOS/ ANIMAIS QUE DEVEMOS PRESERVAR. PARA ALÉM DE OUTROS TANTOS QUE NÃO SÃO APRESENTADOS NESTAS FOTOS ÚNICAS, DIGNAS DE EXEMPLO PARA TODO O PLANETA!
OBRIGADA!!

Thank you for this shift in perspective. Namaste!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
its simply Jai Guru Dev!!!!!!

Praise be the name of Jehovah, the Creator of the world for He has given you talent to capture the beauty of His Creation. May He continue to Bless you with wisdom to produce more pictures like this. And may the Peace and Love of Jesus Christ be with you all.

Our planet is only a tiny, tiny bit of the Universe. Reminds me that I am part of a bigger picture, and will not understand it all while my spirit is stuck in my body. I thank God for the Universe, this absolutely beautiful planet and putting me here to enjoy.

Thank you for such a wonderful exhibition!

Beautiful images.

these are amazing pictures! who took them? i want to apply to take a picture for you :]

"And here's another fact: Christian and post-Christian nations are the ones most responsible for destroying what we see in these photos."
All the religions are interconnected. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have common prophets. In all religions there were problems. Even Pre-Christian civilizations or religions, like Mayans had issues. Great civilizations are not destroyed from outside, but from within. It's starts with family values.
I think religion is just a pretext for fight. Most people who use religion for their actions, they don't do it in the name of God, but only to have an excuse. And besides, religion is just a human interpretation of life and God, it's not the goal, only a mean

amazing, wish i could take pictures like these one time in my life.

You'd think we'd take better care of it, wouldn't you?

DAAAAAMNNNN !!!

The pictures are amazing and wonderful! It's a mircle of what a camera and/or satilite can catch right?

it 's very imazing about this pictures were there 's very unknown places who we have 'nt seen . but this picturse let us to more thinking about your self and behavior with the Natural environment .

The images say everything....

True-How small we are!!

The beauty that is science!! I love it.

Wow! So amazing!

Fantastic pictures and more fantastic when I come to understand that the place on one of them, the one from Thailand, I visited in 2003 and the other, from Antarctica, I will visit coming November.
Earth is a beautiful place and we must stop polluting it so that coming generations will have a chance to live here.

Amazing photos, great great job.

God Created this planet and set the rules for it, it is amazing that religion haters would use god to perpetuate their reckless people controlling ideologies disguised as guilt ridden environmentalist [we are all sinners, so it sounds].
--
Disturbing images from Iraq, what a great criminal that saddam was, he destroyed our country just like many middle easterner rulers do/did for their countries, what a shame that he was allowed to last this long, and come to think of it, what a shame a that any human would have wanted him to stay through inaction.

I saw this exhibit or one very like it in Prague a couple years ago and it was astounding - it should definitely be worth whatever effort(s) it takes to see it!

So many places.....so little time...

These photos are absoluely fantastic, it boggles the mind. Truly beyond comprehention.

AWESOME!!!

If you love these pix, but can't get to NYC or other exhibit location, you can buy the book. I bought one about 5 years ago. It's simply beautiful. I strongly recommend buying it; you will sit for hours looking at it.

Wonderful photos!

I've been to that village in thailand and its pretty intense, one of the islands near the village is called james bond island. the man with the golden gun was partially filmed there and it is deffinately a tourist attraction worth seeing.

these are strong beautiful pictures, we shape the world carve it how we like it, we damage it and we can fix it.

Have faith in humankind. pictures like this make us more aware of what we do to the world.

Personaly I worry about people who talk about an invisle power that controls everything. but if it harms no one, its there right to belive anything they choise. but I'll throw myself in with science and man thanks

Fantabulous, mmindblowing!!!!

Awesome Pictures !!!!!!!

We gotto be there. Amazing Eye

they all are awesome...

Awesome, fabulous, very , very interesting, who could of imagined such a site to see.................

Viewing these pictures deepens my belief in God and the ravages of man to His creation.

Really, these pictures deepen your view of God..... It amazes me to think that people can not except the fact that it is quite likely that NOTHING exists after death. Nothing but everlasting silence. To believe that you, we, are some kind of exceptional beings whom deserve an after life, well, that is ignorance at it's best! Humans kill each other for religious beliefs, how much worse could ones hypocritical belief possibly be? If anyone does not deserve a heaven or a hell, it's humans!

hey!! that left me speechless

Wow! These photos fill me with gratitude that I live in this beautiful world. I trust that it (the world) can repair itself of the grievous injury we unthinking humans visit upon it. We can help by changing our behaviors so that we do not injure the environment further.

Fantastic!
what a beautiful world we have!
and also what excellent photographers we have in the world!
I enjoyed it.

absolutely amazing, what alot of eye candy

No comment................

I am alive, thanks for showing back nature to me!

It's sad to be reminded that people think we're killing the earth... We're not killing the earth; the earth will be around for millions of years after we're gone. We're only killing ourselves and the animals that require environments similar to our own. We will be a momentary blip compared to any other species that has reigned and fallen on this planet. We're arrogant and stupid. And religious blather only makes us appear stupider.

Those who love Nature and its Creator, and share it through pictures, are wonderful people who use their talents productively. On the other hand, those who criticize and destroy that which is good, do so only because of self hate which they project outside of themselves. How sad that such people cannot appreciate and celebrate the good that others do. Such people are destroyers of the physical and visual good, and use "science" as an excuse. "Science" is only one of many areas of human existence, as there are many layers to life itself. Beautiful Nature here much appreciated. Thank you.

The nature is too beautiful.....................
Thanks to the grapher for the amazing photo's.................

Too bad the few atheist wannabees commenting here know so little about God and religion. Do not condemn out of ignorance. Many very serious scientist are great believers, saying that it is precisely their work that has brought them to God. If we all followed the two most important commandments (to love God and to love our fellow man) things would be much better here on Earth which the Bible commands us to take care of. Just think about it. The rest of us will pray for all of us. Thank you for the beautiful photographs. let us appreciate and respect this man's work and buy the book.

Indeed very unique photogrpahs and ofcourse very well captured!!!

The photographer captured Mother Nature beautifully, you have been blessed with a gift, thank you.

Realy.............Cool!

great shots. Really amazing

our earth is just too beautifull and the different cultures and people living on it even more wonderfull ,lets all of us preserve it.

whoaaa..

wow yaar!!!! really cool pics ....where did u get those from dear>????? ny way they superb...

With scrap metal prices so high recently, those tanks at Al Jahrah, Kuwait should be recycled into new steel. Where some see only waste and destruction, I can see opportunity. The radiation from the depleted uranium ammunition is no worse than that found in some natural mines and can be handled with conventional technology that miners already use.

I truly appreciate you sharing these beautiful pictures because I have never seen anything so breathe taking. There is no place like planet Earth, however, all of us collectively need to care for it...and take it seriously.

beautiful pics!!!
went to to the one from thailand dec 2007 was an amazing place!

cool

Fantastic...Beautiful...Grander......I wish I could think of some more adjectives to use at the moment

Breathtaking, stunning--how privileged I feel to be able to gaze upon the world from up high, as if I were an angel...

Very Cool Pictures

beautiful pictures!!!!
Greetings and Blessings from Africa the Motherland.

OSmammmmmmm!!!!!!! mind blowinggggg

amazing...thanks for sharing!!

Some really stupid comments about some God being responsible for all this.

Nature (from the word natural) is fantastic. I enjoyed looking at the pictures and how I wish to visit some of the places on earth that I have not seen.

The most beautiful places are those not spoilt by mankind but we must recognise that mankind is having a direct impact in some of these places (Desert, jungle and the ice caps)

Extraordinary, exquisite, expansive, unique perspective! Provacative work! Startling color and detail combine here to not only to educate but to stimulate w/ a spectrum of patterns. Thanks and hats off to Yann.

superb, mindblowing,fantastic,history

Very beautiful pictures.
All pleased me. Did not even know that there are such wonders on our planet.

This is truly amazing!!

super tare frate!!!!!

Great pictures.

To those religion responses:
If someone asks me if i believe in god i answer:
Which god is that ?? the one the bible discribes ?? or are you talking abbout the driving force behind the univers that makes things happends and is not personificated ?? I am not religious if that was the purpose of the question but i do believe something is controlling things but it is not a being.

Simple breathtaking photos from a lens of talented photograher
thanks for sharing

Hi (Assalaam-u-Alaikum)! These images depict the fact that this Universe is craeated by one Creator (Allah). The beauty of its creation is countless. He just created all this for Humans but we are not paying gratitude to Him as was told by His messengers. The last & final messenger Muhammad (P.B.U.H) told us the complete way of being an ideal Human to be beneficial to ourselves & others. We should praise our Creator all the time for His blessings on us.

Anent the religions comments...don't be ridiculous. This planet is just one of a myriad balls of rock spinning throughout the universes. We have no idea if, or how many, others support life and the human arrogance that thinks all this beauty was created for us, alone, is the apex of hubris.

We're hard at work destroying the only home we have and we then get all teary-eyed at the beauty of what is left. We need to stop relying on a fairy tale to rescue us from our own destructiveness and realize that the only ones to save this beauty are the ones that look out from our mirrors.

beauties

Salaam to the world ! Peace to humanity !
Say NO to hate & destruction........ This world belongs to the human race!
That's the overwhelming message of these splendid photos !!!! Ohhhh!!!!

Yes the world is truly a beautiful place. The pictures show nature has a balance which constantly works to replace and perpetuate. All the animals in the world have their place in the balance of nature, as do the beautiful terrains changing season to season, decade to decade.
The only disappointment to all of this wonderful synchronicity is the human race. Who because they follow only material and money will continue to destroy until there is very little left. Let us pray for Peace on Earth and Good Will to All Living Things, before it's too late.
