Earth from Space



Here is an old NASA photo from my space collection. It is a astronaut placing scientific devices on surface "for all mankind." 
I have other photos from my persona collection at the bottom of this blog post. 
All these photos amaze me for what they show and what they say about how great Western Civilization is.
As amazing is this video: Time-lapsed photography of earth from space...unreal! Click this link and marvel. 
This is epic. 
While human life continues, as in these photos, the earth spins and the planets swirl and creation continues here and beyond. 
CREATION!!!
It shows a time lapse sequences of photographs taken by the crew of expeditions 28 & 29 on board the International Space Station from August to October, 2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km. 
All credit goes to them. 
I intend to upload a Full HD-version presently. HD, refurbished, smoothed, retimed, denoised, deflickered, cut, etc.
All in all I tried to keep the looks of the material as original as possible,
avoided adjusting the colors and the like, since in my opinion the original
footage itself already has an almost surreal and aesthetical visual nature.
