The Far Travels Of A Tree
I never saw a discontented tree.
They grip the ground as though they liked it, and
though fast rooted
they travel about as far as we do.
They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind,
going and coming like ourselves,
traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day,
and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
~ John Muir

How to Train Your Brain to See What Others Don't
Remember the last time you had an 'aha' moment? The pleasure of a new and profound insight can leave us with that feeling of freshness and awe at witnessing something for the very first time.

Family Matters
Steve McCurry has been a one of the most iconic voices in contemporary photography for more than 30 years, with scores of magazine and book covers, over a dozen books, and countless exhibitions around the world to his name. He brought the world the first visuals of the conflict in Afghanistan, putting a human face to the issue with the celebrated image of the Afghan Girl and many other such powerful photographs. His work spans conflicts, vanishing cultures, ancient traditions and contemporary culture alike -- always retaining the powerful human element in his photographs. In this collection of images, he captures the beauty of family from all stretches of the earth, reminding us of our shared global experience of our most intimate community.
