"Nature reveals itself to us in unique ways, if we stop and look at the world through a window of time," says photographer Stephen Wilkes. Using a special photographic technique that reveals how a scene changes from day to night in a single image, Wilkes exposes the Earth's beautiful complexity and the impacts of climate change -- from the disruption of flamingo migrations in Africa to the threat of melting ice -- with unprecedented force.

An innovative photographic journey captures the delicate dance of day to night in one image, revealing nature's fleeting moments.

Climate change's impact visualized through the great migration of flamingos and the Greenland ice sheet's record melt, urging conservation.

The melting of glacial ice not only raises sea levels but may undermine the ocean's food chain, highlighting broader ecological threats.
