So far, faraway; spaceman.
First take

No matter how I look at this picture, it hurts my brain. However, it was the first picture I took with ambitions of putting on this website, so here it is.
Burj in New York
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
Apparently this is what New York would like if Dubai’s Burj was in Manhattan. It’s weird how dwarfed the Empire State and Chrysler buildings look.
Venus and Luna

The Moon and Venus, hanging in the daytime sky.
Venice… from Space!
Monday, June 7th, 2010
Here’s a cool picture of Venice from space. The colors are amazing. Check out the NASA website for the high resolution version.
Bottom of Stirling Falls
Thursday, March 18th, 2010
Captured by Greg O’Beirne, here we have a beautiful photograph of bottom of Stirling Falls, located in the Milford Sound, New Zealand. It’s strange how it almost looks computer generated. But really, I’m just glad these falls are in New Zealand and not Australia.
Saturn’s rings, shadows and moons
Saturday, March 13th, 2010
From the Cassini Orbiter, just like looking over Saturn’s shoulder.
Saturn’s moon Tethys casts a shadow on the planet’s A ring alongside the larger shadow cast by the planet itself in this image taken as Saturn approached its August 2009 equinox.
The night side of the planet is dimly lit here by ringshine. Tethys, located off to the left of this image, is not seen. The moon Janus can be seen orbiting outside the thin F ring at the top of the image. Other bright specks are background stars.
Chasing waterfalls
Friday, January 15th, 2010At more than twice the height of Niagara Falls, Victoria Falls are in the heart of Africa. At the very literal edge of Victoria Falls is Devil’s Pool. Devil’s Pool is a so-called “safe” and naturally formed “swimming pool” completely open to tourist who wish to swim at the teeter edge of the falls.
A video.
Sky images
Monday, January 4th, 2010Flying back to Detroit from San Francisco a few years back, I took tons of pictures out the tiny airplane window with a digital camera. Most of them turned out mediocre, but some were pretty neat looking. Take a look, and click for big versions.
