A review once showed that when people were asked to choose between the ability to fly and the power to be invisible, a great many people picked the capacity to fly. It may be on the grounds that seeing the world from above can amaze us in ways we wouldn’t ordinarily experience. Also, despite the fact that we can't simply fly, our drones can, and we can surely get a view of what the Earth looks from above with advanced technology.

Just Philippines and my muse @maryhadalittledream with whale sharks - the biggest fish. Would you like to do the same? / Просто Филиппины и самые большие в мире рыбы - китовые акулы. Они питаются планктоном. Хотели бы поплавать так же? От себя могу сказать - страшновато. Укусить не укусит, но случайно махнуть своим хвостом может.

A shark in a fish tank will grow 8inch, but in the ocean it will grow 8ft or more. The shark will never out grow its environment and the same is true about you, many times we’re around small thinking people so we don’t grow. Change your environment and watch your growth. . .

"Recién llegado de un viaje inolvidable. La fotografía de naturaleza ha sido solo un vehículo. Estábamos en algún lugar de Península Valdes haciendo fotos desde hacía varios días. Nunca había sentido la naturaleza tan de cerca, ni siquiera durmiendo en el impenetrable chaqueño, o en los Esteros del Iberá donde la naturaleza abunda. Fue una conexión indescriptible. Una mañana de sol y de un mar calmo, mientras estaba en la costa abrigado con polar, campera y borcegos, veo pasar una ballena muy cerca de la costa. Hace más de una década que hago fotografía de naturaleza y siempre el temor o el respeto me mantuvo a cierta distancia. Pero esta vez sentí algo distinto. Un impulso que me dio calor. Me saqué la ropa, mi cuerpo y mi ser necesitaban una conexión adicional con esas bestias del mar. Iba a meterme así al agua. Pero en un momento de claridad me puse el traje de neoprene. Corrí varios metros descalzo por la playa de canto rodado. No sentía ningún dolor al pisar las piedras. Estaba en éxtasis total. Tocaba el agua y no sentía frío. Mi respiración era profunda, mezcla de la corrida por la playa y de la adrenalina que sentía. Comencé a nadar con velocidad, pero luego me dije a mi mismo, momento, hagamos esto despacio. Estaba en un inmenso mar, y enfrente mío tenía una ballena con su cría en el lomo. Pensé en suavidad. El mar estaba muy calmo, y fue ahí que me relajé al 100% y busqué una conexión distinta. Llegué a ese límite de la restinga donde se notaba con claridad a través de las antiparras que había un precipicio debajo mío. En ese momento pensé que no cruzar ese limite podría ser mi mejor protección, ya que la ballena sabe perfectamente que no puede nadar en baja profundidad. Ahí me relajé aun más. Estaba solo en el agua. Levantar la cabeza y mirar una ballena que te hacía de muro a pocos metros de distancia fue una de las sensaciones más impresionantes que he sentido en toda mi vida. Este viaje me ha cambiado. Logré una conexión con la naturaleza como nunca antes había vivido. La foto es tan solo una linda anécdota, pero me quedo con un montón de experiencias que han explotado en mi interior." (@TomasThibaud) - 📷🚁DFP Pilot: @simonpedrothibaud

Where am I going next, asked me this guy when I met him in 2017 when there was almost no ice left in the Lancaster Sound and the area. As the sea ice declines, industrial activities such as fishing, shipping, mining, and drilling are expected to expand northward. But I believe in a world where Humans are able to learn from nature and reconnect with it. I believe in a world where polar bears will still be among us and will not be just a memory from the past.⠀ ⠀ #PolarBear #Arctic #Canada #Nunavut #AerialPhotography #Conservation #TurningTheTide #WildlifePhotography #NationalGeographic #Wildlife #Wilderness #PolarBearInternationalDay
