The turquoise globe, Earth’s unique sphere, glows with warmth and vivacity. A pair of giant giraffe stand like beacons to the poles, their aqua hue reminiscent of the sky reflected by the oceans. Here, water pervades the land, represented by the spiky tips of the mountain ranges of the world; majestic rock forms needling towards the sky from their misty foothills. The Diablo of the Americas, Alps of Europe, the Pegu and Himalaya of Asia, and the Great Divide of Australia. A fishing vessel marks its briny path through the pacific, passing sea turtles and whales, behemoths of the deep. An ornate balloon makes its exploratory journey across the seas, carrying its original cargo of animalia - the peacock and chameleon symbolising re-growth and regeneration as well as an ability to adapt to their surroundings. Giant palms soar skyward from North and South, watchful over the heroes of terra firma and the subterranean world beneath.
