The series was recently awarded “Finalist” on LensCulture for their 2015 Earth Awards (if you don’t know about LensCulture, have a look at the incredible projects from all over the world. Well worth your time.

“Here are 34 unique points of view inspired by the earth, nature, and our shared surroundings. These award-winning photo stories and single images were selected by an esteemed panel of international photography experts for LensCulture’s Earth Awards 2015.” – LensCulture
