Some very nice shots.

This is great.

It's a piece of coral!  Coral, I tell you!

The "aha! that's what that is" feeling.

Egypt at night, from the ISS.

Transit of the sun by the space station.

The shadow of the Moon on the Earth, as seen from space.

This would be too obvious if it appeared on the cover of the kind of novel I read.

I confess I like the music, too.

I am pretty sure these are not the ones which occasionally perch outside my office.

Wow, were we poor.

The southern lights, seen from space.

Gorgeous rock-formation photos from canyons of the southwest

Is that Chicago there?

Some of these are really very nice.

"With her eyes closed, water tickling the tips of her fingers, she could conjure memories of a time before the bomb, before the zombies."

Better version of the photo.

Squamous and rugose!

The sands of Mars.

If I'm honest, all these buildings and rooms look very appealing to me.

"They might look like trees on Mars, but they're not. Groups of dark brown streaks have been photographed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on melting pinkish sand dunes covered with light frost. The above image was taken in 2008 April near the North Pole of Mars. At that time, dark sand on the interior of Martian sand dunes became more and more visible as the spring Sun melted the lighter carbon dioxide ice. When occurring near the top of a dune, dark sand may cascade down the dune leaving dark surface streaks -- streaks that might appear at first to be trees standing in front of the lighter regions, but cast no shadows. Objects about 25 centimeters across are resolved on this image spanning about one kilometer. Close ups of some parts of this image show billowing plumes indicating that the sand slides were occurring even when the image was being taken."`

Many of these are really very pretty.

Mars! Mars!! Mars!!!!

The sands of Mars!

How can pictures of ugly stuff be pleasing? But they are.

Books made into bizarre and wonderful things.

The feral houses of Detroit.

A touching tribute to the power of art; also obscurely creepy.

Words don't do it justice.
