Motivation and goal
We discovered , end of 2006 , in an album published in 2003 by the famous photographer and international ecologist Yann Arthus-Bertrand , a superb photo taken in Lebanon .

A flock of sheep ( around 475 ) naturally draws the word God in Arabic , on a field of wheat after harvest in september , while heading back home behind the dog , the donkey , and the shepherd at sunset .

The need to show this magnificent natural event , documented by photography , to the whole world became overwhelming almost immediately .

Allowing this photo to reach in an organised , honest , and efficient way every public and private place around the world obviously requires important financial resources .

In order to succeed in this gigantic effort we have decided to distribute this photo printed and certified by its author in exchange of a little contribution to allow millions of indiduals to participate actively in this endeavor - a potential creator of new jobs everywhere - without resorting to continuous begging to collect the required huge sums from only some.

In these difficult times all we have left is faith in God , a single and stable reference , for Good and Justice , that cannot be defeated deceived or eliminated .

The shadow behind the shepherd , generated by the setting sun , indicates the East . The Mediterranean sea , located West , is in front of the shepherd .
