Postcard from the Earth: What a Wonderful World

I hear babies cry. I watch them grow.
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know.
And I think to myself: what a wonderful world.

What a Wonderful World by G. Weiss, G. Douglas, and B. Thiele

It’s photos such as these, time Lapse views of Earth from space, that makes one grateful to be alive today.

My name is Norm Benson and my Lowdermilk manuscript is out for beta review. This is the story of Walter and Inez Lowdermilk, an American couple who came to see soil erosion as a threat to civilization. Their pursuit of land conservation carried them from China and the Dust Bowl to Palestine, where their ideas about reclaiming the land helped build the case for the creation of Israel.

    1. Isn’t it? I saw a couple views of Earth the other day: one was a map that showed areas of GDP/capita (red was high with it going to orange, then yellow and finally white indicating zero/GDP/capita). The other was a photo from space showing the world at night. Where the lights were was where the higher GDP/capita was. Energy equaled higher GDP/capita and quality of life. This sequence with its views of lights below reminded me of that.
