В блоге проекта Daily Overview регулярно публикуются фотографии снятые с дронов и прочих летательных средств. Эти снимки показывают абстрактную красоту поверхности земли. На них причудливым образом сплетаются краски песка и воды, грунта и зелёных насаждений, скальных пород и строений, возведённых человеком.

Этот проект призван обратить внимание общественности к красоте нашей планеты и позаботиться о её сохранности. Автор блога Бенджамин Грант уточняет, что его название отсылает к термину в психологии «Overview effect» (Эффект осмотра).

«Если взглянуть на Землю с высоты – все объекты кажутся маленькими, такими, которые необходимо увеличить или защитить. На многих таких снимках ландшафты существенно изменились из-за деятельности человека», — рассказывает Бенджамин.

Check out this incredible shot of the glacial melting that occurs every year in Iceland. Rising lava, steam vents, or newly opened hot springs can all cause this rapid ice melt, leading to a sizable release of water that picks up sediment as it flows down from the glaciers. For a sense of scale, check out the road and cars at the bottom of this shot! Photo by @mikebishop.tv

The Danakil Depression is located in the Afar Region of Ethiopia. It lies on the junction of three tectonic plates and is the hottest region on Earth in terms of year-round temperatures. The Dallol crater, seen here, was formed by the intrusion of basaltic magma into salt deposits and subsequent hydrothermal activity. Any microorganisms living here would be categorized as 'extremophilic microbes' and are of major interest to the scientists studying the area to better understand how life might occur on other planets. /// Created by @micahjmarshall, source imagery @digitalglobe

The Kufra Basin in the Sahara Desert of Libya is one of the most heavily irrigated oases in the world. The Libyan government enacted a plan in the 1970’s to enable agricultural cultivation in the desert by extracting water from the Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System, a non-renewable source of fossil water located beneath the surface. Because the area receives only one inch of rain per year, the acquirer is now nearly dried up. /// Created by @micahjmarshall & @benjaminrgrant, source imagery: @digitalglobe

The facility accommodates roughly one million passengers every year. /// Created by @micahjmarshall, source imagery: @digitalglobe

Paris was the site of the 2016 Climate Agreement signed by 192 countries across the globe. The goal of the agreement is to unite as one planet to reduce the risks of global warming across our Earth. On June 1st, the United States became the first major nation to back out of the agreement, joining Syria (engaged in Civil War) & Nicaragua (did not think the agreement went far enough) as the only countries to not participate. /// Let’s use this opportunity to come together and start a discussion about what we can do to create the smarter, sustainable future that our planet deserves. Accordingly, if you have an organization or an idea that is working to reverse this decision, please share in the comments below! /// Overview by @benjaminrgrant, source imagery: @digitalglobe
