Greetings, I got an email with a bunch of slides of Europe (38 all together) and are quite pretty so I switched
some over to my file to show them here. They are all from the air. Enjoy, Ray
It goes as follows....
Pictures taken by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, born Mar. 13, 1946. A French photographer, journalist, reporter,
and environmentalist. He founded 'The Altitude Agency' in 1991, which was the world's first press agency
and image bank specializing in aerial photography (500,000 pictures taken in more than 100 countries by
more than 100 photographers),
In 1994 Arthus-Bertrand started a thorough study of the state of the earth sponsored by UNESCO. As part
of the study, he made a picture inventory of the world's most beautiful landscapes, taken from helicopters
and hot-air baloons. The book from this project, 'Earth From Above' ('La Terre vue du ciel') sold over
3 million copies and was translated into 24 languages. In 2000, his 'Earth From Above' free exhibition
was set up on numerous big posters on the gates of Jardins du Luxembourg in Paris. It then traveled
world-wide from Lyon to Montreal, to 110 cities and was visited by 120 million people.
