Postcard from the Earth: What a Wonderful World

Posted byNorm BensonPosted inPostcard

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.

    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.
