Wikipedia and other encyclopedias contain tons of knowledge accumulated by humanity throughout many centuries, but they are still incapable of expressing the vastness of our world. How can a few words with a couple of illustrations possibly translate the hugeness of the humpback whale or the majestic sizes of the El Árbol del Tule tree? But luckily there are photos that can certainly let us see and experience the grandness of nature for ourselves!
