I was surfing through Google Images in hopes of being inspired for a blog entry when I came across an amazing photo that led me to an equally amazing website called Atlas of Wonders. This site has photographs of some of the most beautiful and unexpected places on earth. I wound up searching this site for a good hour and a half, which is, roughly, 88 minutes longer than my usual attention span. I contacted the site owner and was given permission to share some of my favorite photos with you, provided I credit the photographers. So without further ado, here is the beauty that we call planet earth. If this doesn’t make you stop throwing cigarette butts out your car window, nothing will.

        You could always jump onto one of the boats going down river.

        You know, when I first got this job, I actually thought people would offer me boat rides. Silly me.

        You have to jump down and then hide.

        That’s a great idea. Not.

        Stowaway… I sense an awesome blog series here. It will be like when the hobos used to jump on the trains.

    How great. Several of them remind me of your fractals, especially the first one.
