In lands I never saw -- they say
Immortal Alps look down --
Whose bonnets touch the firmament --
Whose sandals touch the town --
Meek at whose everlasting feet
A myriad daisy play --
Which, Sir, are you and which am I
Upon an August day?
Emily Dickinson

Re: Countries and travel
Amazing @Cinzia80. You must be aware of Paris-born Yann Arthus-Bertrand, a famous photographer, environmentalist, and journalist. In 1991, he established Altitude Agency, which is the world’s first bank of aerial photography. In the year 1994, he began capturing images of various states of the Earth, in collaboration with UNESCO. For which he used hot air balloons and helicopters. He released a book of these endeavors named Earth from Above, which was released on DVDs in the year 2007.
