The whole world from a helicopter

Yesterday in Novosibirsk opened an unusual exhibition of works of famous French photographer Jan Artyu-sa-Bertrand "Mir from a height".
Its unusual in that it takes place outdoors - 111 photos on the size of 1.6 to 1.8 square meters on display near the Opera and Ballet Theatre. They represented the most vivid, colorful and unusual corners of the planet, taken from a helicopter at an altitude of 30 to 3000 meters.
Iceberg, drifting off the coast of Antarctica, and peresohshee Aral Sea; bright carpets of Morocco and no less colorful flock of red ibises in Venezuela; cemetery tanks in Iraq and yet towering above the New York twin towers of the World Trade Center; island of Sumatra after the devastating tsunami and the dead devyatietazhki Pripyat - each photo, which is an original portrait of Planet Earth, is unique. Showing the beauty of nature photographer at the same time visitors drew attention to environmental problems: his work accompanied by the signatures of what harm caused planet technological factors.
Exhibitions of works Artyusa-Bertrand enjoyed great success in London, Geneva, Paris and other cultural centers of the world. In Russia your photos master brought a second time: the first time they had been presented in 2006 in Moscow.
