I can see how many people think these pictures are cool.
Unfortunately, all i can think of looking at them is how they are literally scars of the earth.
We are obliterating everything that was there before and converting it into barren wasteland, thousands of square kilometers at a time.
And i mean, i'm a Software Engineer so my job is technology all the way down.. There is exactly 0 nature in what I do around me.
But sometimes, it's only when looking at these (literal) bird's eye view that you are reminded how sad it is..
- empyrrhicist 4y agoI get exactly that feeling every time I fly and see the scale of human development.
- aflag 4y agoWe are part of nature, so all we do is also nature's doing. I think you're anthropomorphising earth. Earth and nature don't care about anything. You may argue that the way we are modifying the environment around us is not good for humans in the end. But that's an entirely human view. Nature does not care.
- Micoloth 4y agoI am not anthropomorphising anything! Nature doesn’t care, and i never said it does. Finding beauty in nature is a deeply human thing. It’s me who is sad, not the birds and the trees.. (*Nature as an ecosystem that is rich with biodiversity, yet stable and self-sufficient, and has been there for milions of years (There’s beauty there too). Yes cities are technically nature too, but i think it’s clear what i mean..)
- hypefi 4y agoI think the website is cool, but your comment is spot on, so much ugliness, I am sorry but airports are just ugly, compared to what raw nature has to offer
