The new City centre exhibition of pictures by Yann Arthus-Bertrand that cover nature at work and different aspects of sustainability is creating a lot of interest. There is also a walk-on world map for people to match photographs with locations.

The exhibition has been seen all over Europe and people have been wowed with the breathtaking photography from all over the world taken by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Because the photographs are taken from between one hundred and ten thousand feet in the air, each picture has a unique and distinctive feel showing a different perspective that you cannot see from the ground, whether it is a trail of camel caravans in Mauritania or a glacier in Argentina. There are also new photographs in this collection that have never previously been seen.

Bath & North East Somerset Council is using the exhibition, generously supported by The Roper Family Charitable Trust, Trevor Osborne Group, and Michael Edge, as a chance to opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of the environmental issues society faces and to encourage people to join with the Council in cutting carbon emissions.

The display will help raise several environmental issues and increase understanding and awareness of sustainability issues.  It is a wonderful collection of pictures. Well done to the Arts and Leisure section of the Council and to the sponsors for bringing this display to Bath. I am sure it will be enjoyed by all.
