A satellite image shows a totally machine-made world, which looks like a cubist painting. But it’s not a giant set for the new Terminator movie, it’s the remains of the Bolivian rainforest, after massive clear-cutting. The red areas are the places where vegetation still exists. This is just one of 30 amazing satellite images of the Earth which resemble abstract art, as posted over at Environmental Graffiti. Others include natural phenomena, such as the gorgeous Richat Structure in Mauritania, a huge bulls-eye impact crater in the Sahara. Click through to see a few more of our favorites.
