#NuwaraEliya, the City of Light. If you ever visit #SriLanka, make sure to stop by this place. At 6,128 feet the climate is refreshingly cooler than in Colombo or the coastal cities. Surrounded by breathtaking mountains, this place radiates a unique tranquility.

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time. 'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find. I'm not the man they think I am at home. Oh, no, no, no. I'm a rocket man. Rocket man. Burning out his fuse up here alone.

Stargazing in Bryce Canyon, Utah, is the greatest cinema the world has to offer. Yet, the growing number of #satellites in the night sky increasingly disrupts this view. It feels like being in a planetarium where the lights are gradually turned on ⭐

We humans forget quickly. Disasters come and go, headlines chase each other. When the flood hit #Valencia, the world paused for a moment – now it’s looking at #LA. When will we stop talking and finally start acting?

Simply incredible. Drone footage shows the extent of the devastation in Los Angeles (Pacific Palisades). This is likely to be the costliest fire in US history.

A-23A: This colossal iceberg, five times the size of New York City and with an area comparable to the island of Mallorca, is on its way to leave the Antarctica. It is the largest and oldest iceberg on earth.

Welcome to Trash Everest. Climbing the highest point on earth only to turn it into a heap of trash... There are definitely too many "The North Face" tents.

A small gift from the ocean. During the #VendéeGlobe, several solo sailors encounter a white mountain on the horizon. It's an iceberg, calmly drifting across the Pacific. Majestic and terrifying all at once...

It has never been climbed! The holy Mount Kailash གངས་རིན་པོ་ཆེ. As Yogi Milarepa (1052-1135) once said: "No place is more wonderful than this." Highest point: 21,778 feet.

Los Angeles this morning, bird's-eye view. Breathtakingly beautiful and profoundly haunting at the same time.
