The Big Picture strikes gold again with Man on the Moon, Future and Past.
As someone who watched all of the Apollo moon landings on television and watched Apollo 13, the movie more times than I care to admit, I guess you could call me interested. These images are fantastic.

Wow, Mars like you’ve never seen it before. Clouds, dust devils… the Phoenix Lander decending in front of an enormous crater. Dang, I am awed by these photographs.

Kite Aerial Photography by Nicolas Chorier.

K. Leidorf has a nice collection of Aerial Photography that shows great patterns and textures. The shot of a lumber yard is particularly intersting but so are the others. Nice work.

A great flickr slide show of HDR images of Chicago.
This is a terrific collection of HDR (high dynamic range) images of Chicago. HDR pushes photograhpy in a fascinating way and while I don’t do it (currently) I love looking at it. Pushing photography toward painting really appeals to me, either with HDR, blur, or other [...]

Above Eastern California. From above one can see old and new rivers and streams and their washes cutting through the desert, a view in time that would be difficult if not impossible on the ground.
Another view of the same image.

Above Jamaica Bay, New York. Taking off south from JFK Airport we banked east just about to cross over Rockaway beach. Jamaica Bay was partially frozen and the ice and water made a beautiful pattern.
Another view of the same image.

Above Nebraska. Three circular fields showing through a snow cover which makes them look like pre-historic markings on the earth brought out by a "snow rubbing." Circular or center pivot irrigation is a way of using a robot radial arm to water or irrigate large fields. It requires perfectly flat fields so that the arm [...]

We just took off from LAX and will eventually make the turn out over the Pacific to head east to New York. The cranes on the distant Long Beach shore are the ones in my image of Long Beach Harbor; we will turn south then east and fly back over those cranes in the next [...]
