Earth from Above: Photography by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

Aug 21, 2010 1 comments

"Earth From Above" is the result of the aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand's five-year airborne odyssey across six continents. It's a spectacular presentation of large scale photographs of astonishing natural landscapes. Every stunning aerial photograph tells a story about our changing planet. This is a just a small collection. You can see the more at his website.

(Also See the aerial photographs by Alex Maclean and New York from above).

  1. Beautiful photographs. I especially love the cattle in Argentina, the photographs from South Africa and the one of Tazmania.
