Short description/annotation:
A photographic journey to all corners of the globe, full of panoramas of our natural world—highlighting the five most dominant hues of each photograph on a color bar placed above the image.
Description:
Emphasizing the beauty and variance of color itself as a natural phenomenon, a photographic eye reveals the secret of our world in its splendor and ingenuity

Observed from space, Earth looks like a blue planet, particularly in the wondrous blue tones emanating from south of the equator. Indeed, about two-thirds of the earth’s surface is covered in water, and our pride in this is exceeded only by what we feel when witnessing the overwhelming abundance and beauty of our natural scenery.

The closer we approach each individual landscape, the greater the color ranges become, as nature continues to surprise us. Black volcanic rock erupts into vivid red founts of fire. Sand dunes and mountain peaks shine bright orange under intense sunlight. In contrast, softer pastel tones dominate a blooming heath or lavender field. Our gaze then sweeps over a medley of greens—deep-green pine forests, poison-green reptiles, and light-green fresh undergrowth in valleys.

The Colors of the Earth presents over 300 unique panorama photographs that showcase the beauty and opulent diversity of our natural world—that will amaze you and deepen your appreciation of our world. It''s an awe-inspiring journey to the tundras and the plateaus, the mountains high and valleys low—to the rainforests and to the rivers—to all of the diverse natural spectacles our beautiful Earth has to offer.
