Earth From Above

"Earth From Above" is the result of the French aerial photographer, journalist, reporter, and environmentalist Yann Arthus-Bertrand's five-year airborne odyssey across six continents. 
It's a spectacular presentation of large scale photographs of astonishing natural landscapes, 
a project that consists of more than 500,000 photographs taken in over 100 countries. 
Every stunning aerial photograph tells a story about our changing planet.

Love Rocks

While sitting on the shore of a tidal beach in Maine, a place I have frequented since young,
I discovered for the first time that the beach was covered in jagged rocks and looked like
the pages of a thousand novels had been scraped and scattered at the water's edge. 
I suddenly saw a million stories scattered around me. Here is a very short tale that I found 
about friendship set on fire...
