Image 1 and 15 are the same :-(
they are all digitally enhanced photos..... i was hoping for some cool natural ones... ooh well
noot bad :)
i especially liked the eclipse, tornado, & the fire was neat too :D ...pay attention to those earthquakes, they tend to cascade a bit ;)
in reference to photo #13
sorry about the loss of life, and how insensitive this maybe, but if those are true color photos, notice how
population = desert
and
after tsunami = vegetation
i wonder where else deserts exist that are caused only by man.
maybe we should get some more tsunamis
@Zengrath: No photos are natural, especially if taken from space
What do you expect a naturally occurring camera born of rock to be taken into space by a determined dove? How would this glorified pidgin survive a vacuum? (Something like how popcorn survives a pan, only with blood and feathers). What about re-entry?
A sad end for Valiant the naturally occurring space dove photographer.
@scubasdsteve87: Look at the dates on the photo, greenery came first. Both the tsunami and tornado pics are awesome, though I agree. My favourite is defiantly Apollo seven.
To, well, whoever has the capability to change it, but Ontario is spelled wrong.
Right, the tsunami is the big destroyer of both human life and vegetative life.
I like 3 and 6 and plus they all have pretty colors
By the one and only.........

@greeneax - it's been fixed.

Image 15 - Mount Fuji from space
@Zengrath, I second your request for a series of natural photos (which, without playing words, means: showing as accurately as possible to us humans what we would have seen with our natural eyes if we had been in the satellites). This is not against keeping the more processed photos, that also remain useful.

Put a scale on each vertical view please POPSCI
Only photo #13 (Banda Aceh before/after 26 Dec 2004) has one so far.

why can't i see chemtrails from these photo's? you do know that their great to breathe in right?
why is it that photo's from 'space' have no stars? photoshop'd
@ Michel_Merlin, I agree with you and Zengrath. Natural photos would be a little more interesting to see I think.
