這些壯觀的航拍照片突出了我們周圍世界的多樣性，一個在任何時候都能產生美和靈感的世界。然而，我們人類有時會因為把事情搞砸而感到內疚。我們很容易陷入自己的世界，認為我們的決定和行動對大局沒有任何影響。當我們忙於追逐自己的夢想時，把自己的腦袋埋在沙子裏，把問題留給別人去解決是很容易的。但我們都可以盡自己的一份力做出更好的選擇，尤其是對於那些工作對環境有直接影響的人來說，比如建築師和室內設計師、建築商/開發者、產品設計師、供應商等等。
These spectacular aerial images highlight the diversity of the world around us, one that produces beauty and inspiration at every turn. Yet sometimes us humans are guilty of screwing it all up. It’s so easy to get caught up in our own world and to think our decisions and our actions don’t have any influence on the greater picture. It can be easy to bury one’s head in the sand and leave it to someone else to fix the problem, while we are busy chasing our own dreams. But we can all do our bit to make better choices, especially for those of us whose work has a direct impact on the environment, like architects & interior designers, builders/ developers, product designers, suppliers etc.

葡萄牙的大理石采石場.這些壯觀的圖像呈現在Tito Mouraz的書“開放空間辦公室”中。穆拉茲花了兩年時間參觀了葡萄牙的露天礦，以捕捉地球下數百英尺的大理石采石場的轉變。可以看到梯子和道路等小細節從岩石中爬出來，更不用說從上麵看到的挖掘機器，讓人們對這些采石場的博客規模有了強烈的感覺.©Tito Mouraz
Marble Quarries in Portugal by Tito Mouraz. These spectacular images are presented in Tito Mouraz’s book Open Space Office. Mouraz spent two years touring the open-pit mines of Portugal to capture the transformation of marble quarries hundreds of feet beneath the earth. Small details like ladders and roads can be seen creeping out of the rocks, not to mention the digging machines seen from above, giving a strong sense of the mind blogging scale of these quarries.

French nuclear power generation, as well as the French nuclear weapons programme, are both dependent on the uranium that is extracted from the mine – more than 3,400 tonnes per year.
本傑明格蘭特出版的“概述：地球的新視角”一書中的“鐵礦石礦山池塘”。 尾礦是采礦作業產生的廢物和副產品。這裏看到的尾礦被泵入Gribbens盆地，毗鄰美國密歇根州Negaunee的Empire和Tilden鐵礦。一旦將材料泵入池塘，就將它們與水混合，形成泥漿形式的泥漿，稱為泥漿。然後將漿料泵送通過磁分離室以提取可用的礦石並增加礦的總產量。為了達到規模感，本概述顯示了大約2.5平方公裏的盆地。
‘Iron Ore Mine Talings Pond’ from the book “Overview: New Perspective of Earth” by Benjamin Grant. Tailings are the waste and by-products generated by mining operations. The tailings seen here were pumped into the Gribbens Basin, next to the Empire and Tilden Iron Ore Mines in Negaunee, Michigan, USA. Once the materials are pumped into the pond, they are mixed with water to create a sloppy form of mud known as slurry. The slurry is then pumped through magnetic separation chambers to extract usable ore and increase the mine’s total output. For a sense of scale, this Overview shows approximately 2.5 square kilometres of the basin.
“秦皇島煤炭碼頭”由本傑明格蘭特出版的“概述：地球的新視角”一書。 中國秦皇島港的煤炭碼頭是中國最大的煤炭運輸設施。從這裏開始，每年大約有2.1億噸煤被運往中國南方的燃煤發電廠。2015年，中國政府的新數據顯示，該國每年的煤炭燃燒量比之前披露的多17％。官方數據急劇上調意味著中國每年燃燒額外的6億噸煤，並釋放出比先前估計的更多的二氧化碳 – 幾乎每年10億噸。
‘Qinhuangdao Coal Terminal’ from the book “Overview: New Perspective of Earth” by Benjamin Grant. The coal terminal at the Port of Qinhuangdao in China is the largest coal shipping facility in the country. From here, approximately 210 million tonnes of coal are transported to coal-burning power plants throughout southern China every year. In 2015, new data from the Chinese government revealed that the country has been burning up to 17% more coal each year than previously disclosed. The sharp upward revision in official figures means that China has been burning an additional 600 million tonnes of coal each year, and has released much more carbon dioxide – almost a billion more tonnes per year – than previously estimated.
本傑明格蘭特出版的“概述：地球的新視角”一書中的“奧羅維爾湖船屋”。 停泊的船屋在美國加利福尼亞州尤巴縣的新Bullards酒吧水庫平靜地漂浮。由於過去四年來嚴重的幹旱襲擊了該州，因此湖泊上停泊的空間較小，許多船屋已搬遷到附近的陸上儲存區。
‘Lake Oroville Houseboats’ from the book “Overview: New Perspective of Earth” by Benjamin Grant. Moored houseboats float peacefully on the New Bullards Bar Reservoir in Yuba County, California, USA. Due to a severe drought that has hit the state over the past four years, there is less space to anchor on the lake and many houseboats have been moved to a nearby onshore storage area.
本傑明格蘭特出版的“概述：地球的新視角”一書中的“Shadegan Lagoon”。 在伊朗穆薩灣的Shadegan瀉湖周圍可以看到樹枝狀排水係統。“樹枝狀”一詞指的是水池與樹枝的相似性，當溪流穿過相對平坦均勻的岩石或侵蝕侵蝕的表麵時，這種模式就會形成。
‘Shadegan Lagoon’ from the book “Overview: New Perspective of Earth” by Benjamin Grant. Dendritic drainage systems are seen around the Shadegan Lagoon by Musa Bay in Iran. The word ‘dendritic’ refers to the pools’ resemblance to the branches of a tree, and this pattern develops when streams move across relatively flat and uniform rocks, or over a surface that resists erosion.
本傑明格蘭特出版的“概述：地球的新視角”一書中的“摩押鉀肥蒸發池”。 在美國猶他州摩押的鉀鹽礦中可以看到蒸發池。該礦產生鉀肥，這是一種含鉀鹽，是化肥中的主要成分。鹽從地下鹽水泵入地表，並在巨大的太陽池中幹燥，這些池塘充滿活力地延伸穿過景觀。隨著水在300天的過程中蒸發，鹽結晶出來。這裏看到的顏色是因為水被染成深藍色，因為較深的水吸收更多的陽光和熱量，從而減少了水蒸發和鉀鹽結晶所需的時間。
‘Moab Potash Evaporation Ponds’ from the book “Overview: New Perspective of Earth” by Benjamin Grant. Evaporation ponds are visible at the potash mine in Moab, Utah, USA. The mine produces muriate of potash, a potassium-containing salt that is a major component in fertilisers. The salt is pumped to the surface from underground brines and dried in massive solar ponds that vibrantly extend across the landscape. As the water evaporates over the course of 300 days, the salts crystallise out. The colours that are seen here occur because the water is dyed a deep blue, as darker water absorbs more sunlight and heat, thereby reducing the amount of time it takes for the water to evaporate and the potash to crystallise.

澳大利亞鹽場 © Simon Butterworth. 這個令人驚歎的攝影係列很容易被誤認為油畫，其中巴特沃思探索感知，期望和現實之間的關係。該圖描繪了澳大利亞大陸最西端鯊魚灣的無用環太陽鹽作業。它是從一架輕型飛機上拍攝的，飛行在地麵1200米到1500米之間。“高度對於通過使用長焦距來平整視角至關重要。一天中的時間和雲層覆蓋也是至關重要的，抽象效果因完全沒有表示陰影而加劇，“Butterworth解釋道。
Australia’s Salt Fields Captured by Simon Butterworth. This stunning photography series could easily be mistaken for oil paintings in which Butterworth explores the relationships between perception, expectation and reality. The image depicts the Useless Loop solar salt operation in Shark Bay, the westernmost point of mainland Australia. It was shot from a light aircraft, flying between 1,200 and 1,500 meters above ground.“The height was crucial in order to flatten perspective by using long focal lengths. Time of day and cloud cover were also critical, the abstract effect being heightened by complete lack of signifying shadow,” explains Butterworth.

“礦物質” © Brooke Holm. 探討了冰島充滿活力的河流三角洲與人類好奇心痕跡之間的相互作用。火山灰，沉積物和多彩礦物被冰川水的行進收集和移動，而最近的人類遺物如車輛軌跡和腳步編織進出框架。在這個非常美麗而又令人生畏的自然力量深遠的景觀中，人類對環境的統治的局限性受到質疑。
‘Mineral Matter’ by Brooke Holm, explores the interplay between Iceland’s dynamic river deltas and traces of mankind’s curiosity. Volcanic ash, sediment and colourful minerals are collected and moved by the travels of glacier water while recent human relics such as vehicle tracks and footsteps weave in and out of frame. In this terribly beautiful yet forbidding landscape where the forces of nature are profound, the limits of humanity’s dominion over the environment are brought into question.

Aerial South Africa by Zack Seckler. These arresting images capturing herds of flamingos, gemsbok, and even a solo turtle resting in the dazzling blue water in South Africa were shot from the passenger seat of a two-seater plane. “From elevations between 15 and 150 meters, the landscape hovers on the line between things looking very real and recognisable and being more abstract. That’s what really draws me in—the line between reality and abstraction.”
