I particularly like numbers 3, 6, 8, 11, 16, 17 (ok most of them...) and check out 19 and 22 for unique village inspirations!
(Plus they have links to google maps for each one!)

These were outside the Natural History museum in London for a while. They are stunning - especially in real life as the images are huge. Definitely go and see them if you get the chance.
Ah, yes! Some of the pictures looked familair to me. I remember them from London, the Natural History Museum (outside). Also I think I have seen the same pictures in Copenhagen when I visited there.Originally Posted by torstan

I have his book - its a real mighty tome but has the most amazing photos in it. I have the one with the big heart made of cleared forest as the cover. He must have great fun doing his job.
Spectacular photos -- and educational, too! I went crazy with the downloadable wallpapers on his website: http://www.yannarthusbertrand2.org/
