A new kind of photo
This weekend we went up to the zone of Osona, where you would swear you were in Colorado from the cliffs and canyons. I'll post photos soon, but one unexpected highlight was a public exposition in Vic, a small city we passed through on the way home. A few years ago, a friend gave me the book, "The Earth From Above," which is an amazing compilation of aerial photographs by Yann Arthus Bertrand. I'm sure many of you have seen it. Evidently, the photographer wanted to make his photos accessible to the visually impaired, so he collaborated with some others to turn the images into 3-D renderings. They're amazing...and I am surprised I haven't seen anything like this before. The descriptions (in English and Catalan) explain what is happening, where the light is coming from, etc. You can read more about it here.
