The setting sun glints off the Amazon River and numerous lakes in its floodplain in this astronaut photograph from August 19, 2008. About 150 kilometers of the Amazon is shown here, about 1,000 kilometers inland from the Atlantic Ocean. This image was acquired on August 19, 2008 by the by the Expedition 17 crew of the International Space Station. (NASA/JSC)More breathtaking images at the link. I NEVER get tired of this sort of stuff. Ever.
beautiful....
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! I see there's a picture of Las Vegas, too. Man-made stuff can't compete with Mother Nature!
ReplyDeleteWow that picture is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all y'all. And Christina... can I see your house in that LV pic? Just askin', ya know. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSpace photography! Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteNope, Buck...I live in an apartment, and that picture looks like the typical bee-hive/ant-hill housing development that they have all OVER the Las Vegas valley. Most newer construction features driveways too short to park your car in and homes prolly six feet apart. Horrible!
ReplyDeleteThe picture from space still looks pretty darn cool, though.
Christina sez: Most newer construction features driveways too short to park your car in and homes prolly six feet apart. Horrible!
ReplyDeleteI've seen developments of which you speak all over the southwest. My Miata would barely fit in the "driveway" of a friend's place in Tucson; his mini-SUV wouldn't. As you say: horrible!
