This photography in this book was amazing! It lets you see the beauty in our world from a different perspective.
Patterns Of The Earth by Phaidon Press Amazing Photos
It is hard to believe that the photos in this book are real earth photos and not paintings. My only regret is that the book is too small to really appreciate the incredible detail and massive scope of the pictures. It would be a good idea to list the overall size of books, espically art-type books such as this one.Patterns Of The Earth
