The Earth in Abstract
|
From space, the surface of the earth has some visual surprises, some of which don't look very naturally developed. Of these, one can argue that they are not. In the case of the deforestation of Bolivia, or the red dots of Garden City, Kansas, this is very much the case.

"This image of the once vast carpet of rainforest in the Amazon basin is reminiscent of the cubist masters. Fanning out from the large blocks of land cleared by ranchers and loggers radiate arrangements of fields and farms, the remaining healthy vegetation appearing in bright red." | | Satellite image of Garden City, Kansas |
"Home to the largest zoological facility in Kansas, Garden City is known for its depiction in Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood.The croplands surrounding the city are irrigated by a vast underground aquifer, creating bands of bright red healthy vegetation that dot the image."View more images at EnvironmentalGraffiti.com
