Black Maps

|


As you know I'm all for natural degradation. Nature is grossly overrated. I can't wait for the day when we get rid of it... then we'll be able to leave in peace and harmony with... er, stuff.
So you can understand why I was very impressed with David Maisel's photography. Good lighthearted fun at its best.
From the website:
"The Black Maps project is comprised of aerial photographs of environmentally impacted landscapes. [...] Looking down on these damaged wastelands, where man's efforts have eradicated the natural order, the views through my camera are both spectacular and horrifying. [...] As otherworldly as the images seem, they depict a shattered reality of our own making."

This photographer is amazing! I posted his work some time ago and the images remain some of mi favorite ones. The man is able to kill everything he touches.

@ Carlos & Pezzhammer: teneis toda la razon...

La unica esperanza que tengo yo, es que por mucho que lo intentemos, la naturaleza acabara ganadonos a nosotros.

De hecho estoy buscando imagenes de edificos y estructuras abandonadas que han sido reconquistadas por la naturaleza para ilustrar lo que acabo de comentar... Si veis algo por ahi hazedmelo saber!

@Carlos: El 555 design este no me gusta mucho. Esta bien, pero no se, le falta algo... Aun asi, gracias por decirmelo!
