There are settlements along the length of this valley which culminates in the so-called Annapurna Sanctuary. One such village is in the centre of the shot with its customary blue paintwork. This is from the Rhododendron forest, which must be wonderful when in flower.

Modi'in is an Israeli city located in central Israel, about 30 kilometres west of Jerusalem. The population about 100 thousend.
This spectacular “blue marble” image is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date. Using a collection of satellite-based observations, scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface, oceans, sea ice, and clouds into a seamless, true-color mosaic of every square kilometer (.386 square mile) of our planet. These images are freely available to educators, scientists, museums, and the public. This record includes preview images and links to full resolution versions up to 21,600 pixels across.
Much of the information contained in this image came from a single remote-sensing device-NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS. Flying over 700 km above the Earth onboard the Terra satellite, MODIS provides an integrated tool for observing a variety of terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric features of the Earth. The land and coastal ocean portions of these images are based on surface observations collected from June through September 2001 and combined, or composited, every eight days to compensate for clouds that might block the sensor’s view of the surface on any single day. Two different types of ocean data were used in these images: shallow water true color data, and global ocean color (or chlorophyll) data. Topographic shading is based on the GTOPO 30 elevation dataset compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey’s EROS Data Center. MODIS observations of polar sea ice were combined with observations of Antarctica made by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s AVHRR sensor—the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer. The cloud image is a composite of two days of imagery collected in visible light wavelengths and a third day of thermal infra-red imagery over the poles. Global city lights, derived from 9 months of observations from the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, are superimposed on a darkened land surface map.

The Modi Khola Valley, located in the heart of the Annapurna Conservation Area in Nepal is a supremely cool place. After you leave the village of Deurali at 3200m, you head down into this spectacular place, with peaks soaring on all sides. As you walk up the valley, following the path of the river, Gangapurna (7455m) lies visible at the head, with Machhapuchare Base Camp your destination.
This shot was taken after a light snowfall in the early morning light. The sun had only just started rising over the peaks, leaving most of the valley in shadow.
This was a very challenging shot to process and I am still not 100% convinced I have it down pat. It is a blend of two exposures, with areas manually painted in using masking in Photoshop. After many hours of work, scrapping and restarting, I settled on this. Thoughts?
The museum presents the story of Modiin from the time of the Hasmonean Family till the establishment of the modern city.
Many archeological artifacts have been found in the Modi'in area, revealing its rich and glorious historical past.
On the western outskirts of the city of Modi'in, hidden there is the ruins of Horbat Nekhes, which contains the remains of an ancient village.
On the hills there is a wide variety of wild plants and orchards.
The hills of Horbat Nekhes are rich in remains of human life and activity in the place from various periods. From prehistoric times to the present day. Remains of buildings (most of them from a later period), roads, flint tools, a hewn water reservoir, cisterns, stone cups, burial caves, agricultural installations (winepresses), and agricultural steps (terraces), quarries, and more can be found here.
The path that crosses the center of Horbat Nekhes is part of the "Israel Trail." The finds found here represent the following periods: the Iron Age (Israelite period), the Roman period, the Byzantine period, the Mamluk period, and more.
One of the plants that appears in many cultures found here is the pomegranate tree. Around the ruin and in the wadi - abandoned orchards with olive, almond, and carob trees.

A massive phytoplankton bloom stained the waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of Iceland with brilliant jewel tones in late summer, 2014. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on August 2. Huge colonies of the floating, plant-like organisms create swirls of green, teal and turquoise and cover over 80% of the visible ocean off the northeast coast of Iceland.
Marine phytoplankton require just the right amount of sunlight, dissolved nutrients and water temperatures which are not too hot, nor too cold to spark explosive reproduction and result in blooms which can cover hundreds of square kilometers. Phytoplankton form the base of the marine food chain, and are a rich food source for zooplankton, fish and other marine species. Some species, however, can deplete the water of oxygen and may become toxic to marine life.
