Sometimes, nature can create art that surpasses human imagination. That’s the case with these stunning satellite images that look like abstract paintings.
Google Maps—The Amazing Earth is a series of breathtaking screenshots from Google Maps satellite images thoughtfully (and extremely artistically) selected by Timur Irgashov. They capture the beauty and diversity of our planet, from the frozen landscapes of Antarctica to the tropical forests of Myanmar.
Each image shows a different place in Russia, Australia, Iceland, Greenland, Myanmar and Antarctica. You can see the shapes, colors and textures that make each location unique and fascinating. These are not just photos, they are works of art made by the Earth (click images to enlarge and zoom in).
