I always have to remind myself that what seems to be is not always as it really is; that the Earth is really a billion-year-old rock spinning through space. There is always the juxtaposition between our natural world and the urban landscapes man has built upon it.
I always thought that if I could do a 1000-year time-lapse of the city of Los Angeles we’d see that everything we have constructed is just temporary; that the landscape itself wouldn’t change but what mankind built upon it would rise and fall over time. We’re only temporary here. The land we think we own, we don't - we're only borrowing it. That land will still be here where we're all gone.
