  1. WOW. Those images are so exotic to look at and really get my mind racing with questions. I have NEVER heard of this place before and the farms. Those things look huge! Nice photos!

  2. Breathtakingly beautiful. Although, I have heard about greenhouse farming before, but something is being done on that large scale in the world is news to me. 350 km²... holy crap, that's insane man. It's incredible how advancement in technology and science could help in the production of food even in those areas where the unsuitable climate and infertile land won't naturally allow it. Amazing, isn't it? Also, special mentions to Bernhard Lang who showed us such a huge feat in the most incredible way.

  3. These photographs look so amazing. Imagine how small we are when viewed from above. Really awesome! :-)
