Recently visited National Geographic’s Visions of Earth after seeing this post on mymodernmet. Must confess that, for a while now, I’ve ignorantly stereotyped NatGeo’s photography as long-lens photos of African lions lazing in a field at sunset. But Visions of Earth is nothing like that at all. These mind-blowing photos are a beautiful but startling [...]
