Our Place - The World's Heritage
MyPlace came to life after being inspired by the Our Place project. Over 800 places around the world are designated as Official World Heritage sites by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. They encompass our planet’s most significant CULTURAL and NATURAL features. The 20 Our Place pro photographers armed with LUMIX cameras are currently photographing and documenting these special places for publication in an exciting new series of books and tv items, shooting the most remote places of our world in extreme conditions. Our Place will tell the stories of these sites and many more. Superb photography and evocative quotes and observations will be combined to tell the stories of Our Place on the planet.
