“The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” - Saint Augustine

And so I thought I could at least make such a page. This theme is mainly featuring photos about cultures rather than nature. As a great fan of traveling and the National Geographic magazine, I thought it would be great to make a theme like this. 

I didn't make the photos in this theme myself (if that could only be true...) and I do not wish to get in problems with author rights. So I tried to seek the names of all authors. The list below describes every photo with the author. 

Globe - NASA (who else?)
Angor Wat, Cambodia - Steve McCurry http://www.stevemccurry.com/
Chinese Mountains - Michael Yamashita http://www.michaelyamashita.com/
Bushmen, Southern Africa - Chris Johns
Elephant with Mount Kilimanjaro, Kenya - Steven Pollack
Statue of Liberty, USA - Derek Jensen http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tysto
New York City Serenade, USA - Joisey Showa http://www.joiseyshowaa.com/
Geisha - Jodi Cobb http://www.jodicobb.com/
Machu Picchu, Peru - Martin St-Amant http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:S23678

If anyone of the photographers doesn't feel good about this theme featuring his/her photo, just contact me (see the 'developer website' link for contact through deviantart). 
I couldn't find all names so there are some photo's with an unknown author. I still want to mention those ones too, in case anyone is wondering what he or she sees on the collage.

Paris by Night, France
Louvre, France
Grand Canyon, USA
Shrine of Hazrat Ali, Afghanistan (I think this photo is made by Steve McCurry)
Uluru (Ayers Rock), Australia
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Kremlin, Russia
Taj Mahal, India
