The Earth Remembers Photographed from 12,000 meters above sea level on a flight from Dubai to Tehran, this haunting aerial view reveals the scarred veins of a land that once pulsed with life. These are not just rivers — they are fossils of forgotten waters, carved into the Earth’s skin like the memory of a planet that is quietly dying.

This landform, called a Dalyan, is generally seen in regions where rivers flow into the sea on the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts of Turkey. The Dalyan seen in the photo is Akyatan Lagoon in the Karataş district of Adana. Dalyans are important wetlands. For this reason, they are also home to many bird species. Especially during migration seasons, the density of birds increases in the Dalyan. Since Akyatan Lagoon is located on migration routes, it hosts different bird species. Flamingos are among these bird species. Some of these flamingos at sunset in October are the subject of this photo.

This photograph was taken in the Osa Peninsula, near Puerto Jiménez, Costa Rica—a region renowned for its biodiversity and pristine ecosystems. During the mating season, red-eyed tree frogs gather around bodies of water to reproduce, offering unique opportunities to observe their natural behavior. On this particular day, all conditions aligned perfectly: the water was crystal clear, the light was ideal, and the surroundings were calm, creating the perfect scenario for a split-shot composition. Recognizing this rare opportunity, I carefully planned the session to minimize disturbance to the environment.
