Imaggeo On Monday: The veins of the living planet

Imaggeo On Monday: The veins of the living planet

Today’s imaggeo on Monday provides us with a space to reflect on the interconnected nature of our planet’s systems. The photographer, Antonello Provenzale, wrote of this image:

Earth is a living planet, where the water cycle plays an essential role. A waterfall in the mountains of Valle Pesio, Italy, in a landscape of vegetation and mosses, reminds us of the fluxes and cycles of water and chemical elements that support life on Earth.

 

We can also take these small moments to remember to pause and take a break; to care of ourselves and those around us as best we can; and be kind to ourselves during what has been, and continues to be for many, a very difficult year.
