Incredible Pics from ISS by NASA astronaut Wheelock | triggerpit.com

[Earl]

"Beautiful reflection of sunlight on the eastern Mediterranean Sea. No borders or conflict visible from space…just breath-taking beauty like this view of the island of Cyprus (6-21-2010)."

No stinking Humies visible that's why

[Hypernova]

I'll bypass all the breathtaking splendour of these images and how beautiful our planet is and instead focus on all that blumming light pollution, it's absolutely shocking to see that much wasteful light cast straight upwards and be visible from space

[OutThereSomewhere]

But the light pollution does look good from above, even though it is so wrong .

[Sam]

Fantastic images - the light pollution is a bit of a worry though!

Awesome love the mountain image does anyone know the name of it

[Tantalus]

Stunning. Love the mountain, and Isle Juan De Nova, #4, looks like a jellyfish.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks for posting those Steve, what incredible images. The sheer beauty of some of them quite literally brought a lump to my throat.

Not a bad little home is it, the earth?

[Beyond_Vision]

Stunning images thanks for the link Steve

A mind boggling set of pictures. Enjoyed every one.

Earth is beautiful, but the view from above is serene.

Thanks Steve, and also the guy with the camera. He must have enjoyed that experience, but who wouldn't.

Picture 19, Tracy.

That's got to be the best 'room with a view' in human history.

I love how pic 15 makes that mountain look tiny.
