Earth is Pretty
I've been doing scenery pictures tied to specific countries or states.
Here are snippets of the big picture minus any political restrictions.

Sort of places but not limited to a country, besides pretty ladies never hurts.
Pilots see this frequently... birds too but I doubt the appreciate it.

You didn't think I was done did you...
I think our oxygen comes largely from the ocean, but it's a nice thought...

Re: Earth is Pretty
How much energy, and heat released, did it take to make those tires?
Is that where "disposal fees" go?
And why aren't question marks on the bottom of the key (default) instead of / ?

Re: Earth is Pretty
Earth is pretty, even when viewed from 240,000 miles away.
Fifty five years ago today (24th December 1968) the crew of Apollo 8 read from Genesis 1 prior to setting off home from lunar orbit.
I never fail to be moved by this particular video.

An outfit from the far east built a factory in GA that pops out tires by the millions. Touring the plant if you see a human they'll probably be on a bicycle with a clip board or laptop. Hard to see as the machines don't need lights
The disposal fee, which is relatively recent and not universal, is used to gather and truck them to the fire.
The ? is over the / to make typing harder so men can't easily do it making them more dependent on women.
Carruthers, the Earth, like many people, looks great until you get up close.

♫ Lovely to look at, ♪ Delightful to know...
Other places aren't as lovely as here, interesting but just don't have the warmth.

I think this bridge is a staged photo, if it's the one I remember nobody is allowed on it...

Re: Earth is Pretty
Practice run for skipping the bomb into the dam...
A lot more under than over...
Is the moon giving the bird or is the bird mooning us?
My mother loved this stuff but it's messy, destructive and a bee magnet...
Looks cool but eating that wall...
Kind of like ex-lovers, once they get into your soil they're hard to shake..

Re: Earth is Pretty
That tree in the eroding dirt might even survive the fall. If enough dirt clings to its roots, it could reattach itself at the bottom and keep growing. I've seen fallen trees in the forest that had enough roots still attached that they continued living while lying on their side.

Re: Earth is Pretty
Yeah, I don't know how high that is or what's under it. I saw a picture the other day of a tree at least 2 ft in diameter flat on the ground with 4 full size (over a foot in dia) trees growing out of it. I'd seen others with trees growing out of a rotted corpse of a tree but this one still had bark and shaped like it laid down yesterday.

Re: Earth is Pretty
Either Aurora never fails to impress...
That bridge is mooning us with not even the respect of a full moon.
Winter melts in mysterious ways.
Snow, glaciers, Icebergs, so much cold.

Re: Earth is Pretty
When you don't have a car to decorate for the parade...
But still looks cool...
You'd walk a mile to that camel...
Sometimes cheaters win...
Gravity always wins...
Looks like AI but close to real...

Re: Earth is Pretty
There's a particular AI image generator (I forget the name) that will combine two pictures. Most often I see people generating, say, a market scene that looks like Jesus' face when you squint, but this one pretty clearly seems to have combined a spiral and a generically Swiss-like landscape.
