Today's site, presents the work of French photographer Yann
Arthus-Bertrand. Readers will discover a dazzling collection of
images from
around the world.
"[Earth from Above] is a data bank, which contains more than 1000
photographs with their captions. Each photo can be downloaded as
wallpapers for free." - from the website
The site's compilation of images may be accessed from the small
"Menu" heading on the left, allowing selection by specific
country.
English-speaking visitors may be more comfortable choosing from
the second drop-down list. Each image is accompanied by a
detailed description in French, Spanish and English, including
its longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates. A particular
feature of the site is the availability of all the photos to be
freely used as desktop wallpapers in 800x600 or 1024x768
resolutions.
Note: Firefox users should scroll down two-thirds of the page to
view the initial and subsequent images.
