We are but grains of sand: 16 photos that show how tiny the human being is in the face of Mother Nature
Although we are capable of creating great works and immortal masterpieces, sometimes we have to stop and reflect on a detail that we don't pay enough attention to, or which we think about too little: compared to some creations of Mother Nature or in front of immense masterpieces, we humans are really tiny. You just have to look around to understand how much the world is infinitely larger than us, even in size.
