"A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature." -Henry David Thoreau
I was struggling to come up with a name for this photo and hoped I could find inspiration from someone better with words than I am. Of course I came across this quote from Thoreau, and there in the middle was the title: Earth's Eye. That's exactly how Willie and I felt as we enjoyed sunrise from Reflection Lake on this particular morning. It was cold but it was amazing: a perfect reflection on the lake, Mt. Rainier standing above us, with beautiful patches of wildflowers in front of us.
We had briefly stopped at this spot the previous morning only to find the entire scene covered in thick fog. We didn't have a clue where Mt. Rainier would even be (we thought it was further to the left). To come the next morning and see something completely different was inspiring, and breathtaking.
By the time we left we were surrounded by tens of photographers. Luckily we arrived first and could scope out the 2 largest patches of flowers along the lake. The flowers were still blooming (or dying), so there wasn't much to choose from. We watched the fog form on the lake, then disappear completely. Hopefully you enjoy the beauty of this scene as much as we did, even without an epic sunrise sky going with it.

Les nuages et leurs ombres, avec la courbure de la Terre à l'arrière-plan : notre planète est d'une beauté à couper le souffle. Les 3 photos montrent la même zone, mais vous voyez qu'en fonction de l'objectif utilisé, la forme de l'horizon semble différente : si on zoome à fond sur la surface d'une sphère, on finit par ne plus voir sa courbe.
Clouds and shadows and the curvature of Earth. Simple really, but so breathtaking! See how the camera lens used changes the shape of Earth's curve?

Centuries ago many people believed that the Earth was at the centre of the Universe and was surrounded by crystal spheres. In the modern age science fiction writers and some scientists would have us believe in a "Parallel Universe" where there is an alternative existence. I have tried to recreate this in a photographic image. If one had an optical device that could look at Earth from a light year away, we would see ourselves in the past.
Today, celebrate our Earth and do your part to keep it beautiful for the next generation!

There's actually an earth-3 version of Riddler that exists, so here he is aha. Unfortunately there's no question mark piece that exists yet, so I'm stuck with this bum staff
Some Backstory: Enigma is the secret identity behind which Edward Nashton of the Antimatter Universe lives. Once the superhero known as the Quizmaster, his entire family was slaughtered by the Crime Syndicate, and he was only able to save the soul of his daughter Stephanie, integrating it into a powerful engine with multiversal travel capabilities and many powerful options; she traveled with him often as his aide.
Everybody, listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your Captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick
I've been lost now, days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me
Or am I all alone
If you return me to my home
I will kiss you, Mother Earth
Take me back now
To the port of my birth
Am I in my cabin dreaming
Or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it
I just can't live without it
Don't take my ship from me
I can feel the hand of a stranger
And it's tightening around my throat
Help me
Take this stranger from my boat
I'm your Captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick
Listen to me
And return me my ship

When I'm around you, yeah
I can feel peace in the atmosphere
I'm calm, yeah
Like leaves on the trees when the dawn is near
So perfect
Not a flaw can be found
And my mood is pure
But when I'm lost, yeah
You capture me and bring me right back down
If I'm ever cold, I can count on you
To heat me up with your presence
And when you send your love to come conquer me
I don't fight, I just let it
Like a picture that captivates me
So take me away on any given day
And when I'm lost, yeah
You capture me and bring me right back down
You bring me right back down to Earth, yeah
You bring me right back down
Down
You bring me right back down to Earth, yeah
You bring me right back down
Down, yeah, down
You bring me right back
And when I'm lost, yeah
You capture me and bring me right back down
At the lowest level you can make me feel like I'm sky high
So throw a smile at me, baby
Then I feel alright
I can't quite figure out what it is
That makes me feel this way
But I really love your way
The way you capture me and bring me right back down
You bring me right back down to Earth, yeah
You bring me right back down
Down
You bring me right back down to Earth, yeah
You bring me right back
Listen up
You bring me down like a meteor, shower me with comfort
I can't resist the feel
You put me on the level
I'm calm, I'm settled
You keep my engine roaring when you're pushing on the pedal
So come push my pedals, yeah
Just call me; we can meet on the double
The first time we met it was trouble, yeah
You bring me right back down to Earth, yeah
You bring me right back down
Down
You bring me right back down to Earth, yeah
You bring me right back down
Down, yeah, down
You bring me right back
And when I'm lost, yeah
You capture me and bring me right back down to Earth
So come bring me down
Bring me down
Down to Earth

Often the least-populated areas are the most beautiful – in this area in central Asia the snow is still covering mountains like a film of dust before spring melts it away.
Parfois, ce sont les zones les moins peuplées qui sont les plus belles (ne serait-ce pas même une règle générale ? 🤔 – démonstration avec l’Asie centrale : ici un lac et des montagnes qui résistent encore au printemps en Mongolie 🇲🇳

The table in my studio is like a beach- flotsam and jetsam of everyday life drift in and out again- pebbles, shells, twigs, weeds, fabric, bird’s nests, eggs, old bottles, bits of paper, string, stamps, toys, cake, etc. This series categorizes some of the junk into the 5 elements of Chinese philosophy- earth, wood, metal, water and fire.
Eden is the only upgrade I bought this year. I didn't like the Hime hair on Poppy and Agnes just doesn't usually do it for me (I know, I know, I'm one of the few who isn't fond of the Queen Bee Agnes.) I do like Eden though and am happy I got her.

I'm just uploading this as a single one, because I really like it.
And this is better than the photo I just uploaded, so if people come across my stream, they will hopefully see I can take semi good photos ;)
Earth may try to break you
And Life, she'll try to take you
Love may live without you
And Silence may let the pain through
But Nature will love you kindly
And restore all you've lost
You're a creature of the Earth
Of nature hard and soft
Stress may do you badly
And Anxiety may wrack your bones
Apathy may take you gladly
And Tears may drag you from home
But Wind and Water will grow you
Laughter and Love will heal you
The Sun will hold and cradle you
And let Joy come through.........Chaus
Wyverns embodying the strength of the earth. Known to roost in vast underground caves and the hollowed interiors of archtrees.
I remember photographing this same place at the beginning of the mission, but this one is much more zoomed. Two conclusions: I am starting to learn recognise parts of our planet by the colour of the earth, and I am getting better with the big lenses! ;)
Je me souviens avoir déjà pris en photo cet endroit au début de ma mission, mais cette fois-ci j’ai pu zoomer beaucoup plus. J’en tire deux conclusions : je commence à mieux connaître notre planète et je m’améliore avec les objectifs puissants ! ;)

Delighted to get down to Salford Quays to see the Floating Earth actually floating! The weather has, not to put too fine a point on it, been bloody awful round here recently and I think that there have been a few issues with it in both Salford and at Pennington Flash.
Seen at the Lightwaves Festival 2021.

ESA astronaut Tim Peake took this picture from the International Space Station and commented: “Today the International Space Station completed its 100 000th orbit of our beautiful planet Earth! An amazing feat of science, engineering and international cooperation – congratulations Space Station.”
The odometer was set when the first module, Zarya, was launched on 20 November 1998. Each orbit takes around 90 minutes to complete but relative to Earth the Station moves to the west by around 2200 km each time.
In the Station’s 100 000 circuits it has travelled more than 4.1 billion km. In the 6762 days it has been flying it has coped with the temperature swings of over 10 000 sunrises and sunsets.
Europe’s Columbus module was added to the complex in 2008 and passed its own milestone last month: 26 April 2016 marked its 3000th day of operation in space. The Solar facility on Columbus has been observing the Sun for most of these 3000 days, tracking our star’s output to help understand its influence on our climate.
For researchers on Earth, the Station’s longevity is unique among weightless laboratories. Microgravity experiments can be run closer to home on parabolic flights, but only for 20 seconds at a time.
