Crikey, you have to look twice at this, at first glance I thought it was a wall with marks on!
Giovanni
How did you get such a high vantage point!
Pauline Jones
Woah, that makes us humans look really small.

It does put things in perspective, doesn’t it. Amazing that such tiny, insignificant creatures can willfully go about destroying the planet that sustains them.

What are you talking about? How are they destroying the planet? You obviously have never been on a glacier, have you? Way to turn a great shot into a wannabe political statement that doesn’t work.

I love the power of photography to inspire emotions, thoughts and action… Earth is an amazing place and we are lucky to be on it.
