What We See When We Look at Travel Photography On the visual — and psychological — contradictions of pictures from the road.

Sometimes you forget that the chaos of civilisation isn't everything, or everywhere.

Here's a beautiful reminder:

"It's a particularly odd thing to contemplate at a time when environmental concerns have never been greater. In the cockpit, at night, up-shining cities are among my favorite sights.

Surely not....
