这些壮观的航拍照片突出了我们周围世界的多样性，一个在任何时候都能产生美和灵感的世界。然而，我们人类有时会因为把事情搞砸而感到内疚。我们很容易陷入自己的世界，认为我们的决定和行动对大局没有任何影响。当我们忙于追逐自己的梦想时，把自己的脑袋埋在沙子里，把问题留给别人去解决是很容易的。但我们都可以尽自己的一份力做出更好的选择，尤其是对于那些工作对环境有直接影响的人来说，比如建筑师和室内设计师、建筑商/开发者、产品设计师、供应商等等。
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.

本杰明格兰特出版的“概述：地球的新视角”一书中的“铁矿石矿山池塘”。 尾矿是采矿作业产生的废物和副产品。这里看到的尾矿被泵入Gribbens盆地，毗邻美国密歇根州Negaunee的Empire和Tilden铁矿。一旦将材料泵入池塘，就将它们与水混合，形成泥浆形式的泥浆，称为泥浆。然后将浆料泵送通过磁分离室以提取可用的矿石并增加矿的总产量。为了达到规模感，本概述显示了大约2.5平方公里的盆地。
‘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.
“秦皇岛煤炭码头”由本杰明格兰特出版的“概述：地球的新视角”一书。 中国秦皇岛港的煤炭码头是中国最大的煤炭运输设施。从这里开始，每年大约有2.1亿吨煤被运往中国南方的燃煤发电厂。2015年，中国政府的新数据显示，该国每年的煤炭燃烧量比之前披露的多17％。官方数据急剧上调意味着中国每年燃烧额外的6亿吨煤，并释放出比先前估计的更多的二氧化碳 – 几乎每年10亿吨。
‘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.
本杰明格兰特出版的“概述：地球的新视角”一书中的“奥罗维尔湖船屋”。 停泊的船屋在美国加利福尼亚州尤巴县的新Bullards酒吧水库平静地漂浮。由于过去四年来严重的干旱袭击了该州，因此湖泊上停泊的空间较小，许多船屋已搬迁到附近的陆上储存区。
‘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.
本杰明格兰特出版的“概述：地球的新视角”一书中的“Shadegan Lagoon”。 在伊朗穆萨湾的Shadegan泻湖周围可以看到树枝状排水系统。“树枝状”一词指的是水池与树枝的相似性，当溪流穿过相对平坦均匀的岩石或侵蚀侵蚀的表面时，这种模式就会形成。
‘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.
本杰明格兰特出版的“概述：地球的新视角”一书中的“摩押钾肥蒸发池”。 在美国犹他州摩押的钾盐矿中可以看到蒸发池。该矿产生钾肥，这是一种含钾盐，是化肥中的主要成分。盐从地下盐水泵入地表，并在巨大的太阳池中干燥，这些池塘充满活力地延伸穿过景观。随着水在300天的过程中蒸发，盐结晶出来。这里看到的颜色是因为水被染成深蓝色，因为较深的水吸收更多的阳光和热量，从而减少了水蒸发和钾盐结晶所需的时间。
‘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.

澳大利亚盐场 ©Simon Butterworth.这个令人惊叹的摄影系列很容易被误认为油画，其中巴特沃思探索感知，期望和现实之间的关系。该图描绘了澳大利亚大陆最西端鲨鱼湾的无用环太阳盐作业。它是从一架轻型飞机上拍摄的，飞行在地面1200米到1500米之间。“高度对于通过使用长焦距来平整视角至关重要。一天中的时间和云层覆盖也是至关重要的，抽象效果因完全没有表示阴影而加剧，“Butterworth解释道。
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.

“矿物质” ©Brooke Holm.探讨了冰岛充满活力的河流三角洲与人类好奇心痕迹之间的相互作用。火山灰，沉积物和多彩矿物被冰川水的行进收集和移动，而最近的人类遗物如车辆轨迹和脚步编织进出框架。在这个非常美丽而又令人生畏的自然力量深远的景观中，人类对环境的统治的局限性受到质疑。
‘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.”
