Earth from Above

A mizzly Election Saturday led me back to the wonderful Earth from Above exhibition, a set of which is on display in the open air at Darling Harbour 200m from my apartment. It's available on line but the full size (2mX1.5m I guess) have much more impact. And of course there is, as always, a horse connection (the pic is of Maisons-Laffitte hippodrome.) Not a coincidence in this case because photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand has done another series on Horses, illustrating all the various breeds of the world (though I couldn't find a standardbred!).The trotteur francais in the pic is Kahela de Luc, âgée de 5 ans, drivée par Sylvain Devulder. Pistes du centre d'entraînement de Grosbois, environs de Paris, France.
