I love this image. It is so powerful and Carl Sagans writings and speaking around it gives me goosebumps.

I have a canvas of this on my games room wall. It is a very powerful image. Unfortunately it isn't a particularly good picture when printed on canvas, the detail is quite poor and I would like to have a high quality picture done to replace it.

🙂 I really enjoyed my time over there. Beautiful weather and the scenery was stunning. The views from the top of the rock were spectacular. I would really like a holiday home over there. but that is pie in the sky 🙂

I hope you enjoy your time out there next week.

Thanks for posting this re-working of this amazing image.

The image and the Carl Sagan commentary ought to be compulsory viewing at schools I reckon.

Been reading about this image last night and today. Taken 30 years ago today, 3.7 billion miles from the sun.

If it doesn't make you do so serious thinking, I dont know what will!

Every man woman and child along with every creature that ever existed, lived there.
