Strange this posted yesterday, last night on TV was the program on the failed Shuttle mission with the loss of 7 lives...

Just reminds us all that whilst beautiful, its bloody dangerous.
Either way though wonderful job..

off to spend an hour on google Earth.......

Apparently the pictures are taken with a commercially available camera, a Nikkon D2X. Just shows how far and how clean images can go in a vacuum freed from contaminants of dust.
