Son-of-a-Weizen Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 Has anyone seen 'The Earth From Above' exhibit? Apparently it's been making the rounds for 3 or 4 years now but I happened to stumble upon an outdoor display in Vienna a few weeks back and was very impressed. For those who haven't seen it, there are a series of photos shot from a helicopter hovering at 150 feet or so.....absolutely stunning shots. Wanted to bring back a copy of the oversize book but it was pretty hefty so I decided to try and find one floating around over here. One of the more humorous photos was a colony of nudists basking on a French beach.......the photo that was displayed directly opposite this one had a similar mob of basking sea lions. Funny stuff.

brownie Posted November 27, 2004 Report Posted November 27, 2004 Weizen, that outdoor exhibition got its start in Paris back in 2000. The photos were shown around the gates of the Palais du Luxembourg just off the Boulevard Saint-Michel. It drew a crowd. The photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand - and his editor - made a fortune out of those photos. Many of the photos were stunners! Quote
