Pictures Worth a Million Words

I hope you all will take the opportunity to visit Yann Arthus-Bertrand's website. His site is under my links. It has some of the most amazing photographs of North America, South America, Africa, Antarctica and beyond. His specialty is aerial photography and this website catalogues hundreds of photos from Bertrand and other photographers. The photos from the Earth From Above Project, highlights something called sustainable development: a concept questioning the conditions of globalization and how we must act and react in different ways to sustain our potential for resource renewal. This is such a powerful idea, something I regrettably don't think about often. These images accompanied by facts remind us that however beautiful they may be, these places which happen to be ecological phenomenas are happening because something else isn't happening, like the Earth isn't staying cool enough to keep glaciers from melting at alarming rates. Please take a moment to visit. Go to the Photographs section 1, under the Oceana and Antarctic heading there is an incredible shot of humpback whale. This site is worth roaming.
