And (text feeling from Baraka)

Clouds are like smoke, winding on the high uplifting peaks, soft like yarn, delicate like snow, and ethereal like a divine song. Yun Ruoshui, rushing mightily on the shoulder of the mountain, waves of light gray foam surged, but the dark mountain just quietly felt the passion and gentle dancing sleeves of the sea of ​​clouds.
It was unclear whether it was a cloud of smoke or a sea of ​​clouds. From the sloping yellow hillside, there were waves of thin mist, and they flew briskly in the high sky. The broken and mutilated ground surface was shrouded in a bright sunlight. In an instant, the shining white sun merged with the clouds and water, and the blue, purple and light gray sky was like an impressionist painting-hazy and gentle. Suddenly, the sun of diamond light was overturned by the rushing sea of ​​clouds, and the dark blue sky gradually appeared-the silver-white stars appeared deep behind the thin clouds.
Rolling clouds passed quickly across the earth, bringing bright daylight. The solar sphere rises from the east, bringing heat and light. The green arms on the ground stretched out towards the blue sky, praying for sunlight, water, and air. The strangely shaped Gobi is full of mystery and magnificence in the daylight. The solar sphere surrounds her magnificent halo, slowly breaking away from the thick black clouds, giving power to the vast ocean. She proudly overlooks the vast land, watching human beings engrave wisdom and civilization on the treasures of nature.
The power of nature makes day and night reincarnate, day after day, year after year, year after year, forever.
Humans are looking for their own beliefs in this land, establishing religions, mastering survival skills, learning to decorate and beautify their bodies, gain wisdom and civilization through labor, and thrive together with all things.
Nature has always been friendly. It decorates the plainness of this planet with its eternal and priceless beauty, gives Ruize to lack, and gives dawn to life. Humans worship her, love her, and praise her. Countless species have rooted in this fertile soil, driving away human hunger and cold, and giving humans a splendid vision. From then on, humans are no longer alone.
The ancient civilization will continue to spread. Human beings feel the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of nature, progress in the wisdom they have gained, and create new crystallization of wisdom in labor. Life and death, in a sense, human society is indeed like social Darwinism, where the survival of the fittest is true, but we are not developing linearly, but three-dimensionally. With the combination of technology and scientific theories, industrial civilization seems to have given mankind more With more and more faith, some people began to try to control the pace of nature and enshrine mankind as the god of the world.
Later, we saw that the cold saw cut through the bottomless greed and desires on the trees. A large number of sawdust spewed out as the machine entered, and the end of the scar could not be seen, but there was a loud sound of life crashing to the ground in the ear. Countless pairs of godless eyes watched a faint green fade in indifference and numbness...
The harmony of the world was interrupted by industrial civilization, and the imbalance in the grasp of science and technology led to an increasingly uneven flow of wealth. Residents of poor countries live in filth and chaos, and their houses seem to be piled up of tattered cardboard boxes. This unity is surprising. In the frozen dim vision, only colorful clothes dance with the wind. Those scenes are lifeless, like an uncleaned grave.
The production machines and production lines created by humans have greatly improved production efficiency. When the desires of a small number of people are filled, most people become more and more like slaves to machines. Mechanical body movements gradually replace mental activities, just like puppets. The pace of product production is as fast and simple as that of urban life. Blank expressions, rushing steps, materialistic life, noisy streets, the primitive tranquility is gone forever, and life is highly patterned. I don't know if it is the crowd or time that is constantly flowing.
Mankind has moved farther and farther away from the past. Industry and nature seem so abrupt. The gap between poverty and wealth is difficult to bridge. Humans began to proudly count their wealth, the countless high-rise buildings, the vehicles coming and going, the tens of thousands of lanterns shining in the stars in the middle of the night, and the prosperous metropolis.
After the feasting life is a large area of ​​dirty and smelly garbage dumps, which are placed in poor countries, and people and animals bow their heads to pick up valuable waste. The rubbish piles up like mountains-endless, and the sky is filled with flying dust and gray. When the rich are intoxicated, the poor have neither food nor shelter.
The smoke of war is raging in the sky and the earth. The value of life is getting blurred. The decadence left is not only given to people, but also to nature. Nature breathes in the darkness. The war between mankind and nature has intensified from the Cold War.
Mankind began to look back at those natural heritage and civilization heritage, began to search for the true meaning of harmony, and unearth the intoxicating tranquility.
We finally started to pay attention to those cruel data and reality. The harm of human activities to nature, industrial production, wars, and the severe consequences of irresponsible gains. The destruction of the ozone layer over Antarctica reached 2,400 square kilometers in 1994; 30% of Europe’s forest areas were degraded by acid rain; desertification is still expanding at a rate of 6 million hectares; more than 1 billion people worldwide are due to water pollution and lack of water supply facilities No safe drinking water is available; 1/3 of temperate forests in Europe, North America and other places have been cut down during the industrialization process; in the foreseeable future, 5% to 20% of plant and animal populations will be threatened with extinction; today The world’s annual production of toxic and hazardous chemical waste is as high as 300 to 400 million tons...
Fortunately, we now see that many people are involved in caring for the earth and paying attention to human development. Investment and cooperation between organizations have become more frequent.
As an individual with such a small but extraordinary significance in the universe, it is urgent to pay attention to the harmony between man and man, man and nature, man and society, and nature and society. A pair of sharp eyes, a pair of powerful hands, a sincere and strong heart, and an eternal belief can produce greater effects than any machine. The world has always needed such a voice, doesn't it?
The stars and sun rotate, the sea of ​​clouds is rushing, and time is a torrent. People, heaven and earth, industry, nature, who dominates the ups and downs? Only time tells everything. We can only plant a beautiful wish in our behavior: the wide and deep space, the small people, and the colorful things will eventually return to harmony on the long road.

    There is great beauty in heaven and earth, but there is great sadness in life without knowing it. Every shot is beautiful to the extreme, surpassing all words and words!

    Although it has a National Geographic-style humanism, the various pictures are still quite good, the photography technology is also very advanced, and the pictures are very pure.
