I’m sharing these pictures to show the beauty of our world, hoping viewers may be inspired to take action to save it from the destruction humans are causing to nature.
This short series was taken during April last year on a hot air balloon flight celebrating my wife’s 70th birthday. You can find a full account on Medium here, or a shorter piece here. The aerial pictures give a different perspective to the countryside southwest of Bath, England, where our flight was launched.

Feel free to comment, like, and share these to spread the joy of natural beauty to as many people as possible. It might persuade others to join the cause and help fight the rapidly approaching climate emergency and species extinctions.
These posts are weekly, but I also Tweet (until that platform becomes hostile for people who care about truth) one at the end of each day, with the hashtag #ourworldiswonderful, join me there if you wish.

Fancy one of my images on your wall? The images on my web are small, but there 2,500 HD large images available through Picfair as digital files, art quality prints on paper or canvas, or for book covers, calendars, greetings cards, jigsaws, advertising, editorial, or whatever else you want here. The small fee helps me maintain and buy the gear and software quality digital photography needs. I dislike exclusivity-driven high prices because decorative artwork should be available to everyone. A few pictures also appear in my Gallery.

Great photo, Stuart. The world always looks so different from above, I think.

I’ve always loved the view from above, where the world looks so much smaller and we can more easily recognise our position as living on a tiny ball of life in a huge, impersonal universe.

Agreed. We should be able to see our place so much more easily.

Looks like horses – I’d love to be there with carrots and apples.

I imagine the horses would be pretty pleased, too, Noelle. You’ll note some in the picture are clothed in bright colours!

Yes, it must have been chilly that day and the owners thought to provide them with blankets!
