7. Thanks -- I'm mesmerized by beautiful pictures.
I had to get an external hard drive to store them all on. And when I go through them, I'm entranced every time.

:hi:

9. Beautiful! Incredible Earth....long may she live!
and she will. :-) :-) :-)

Us "users" ~ not so much.

Thank you for this beautiful collection (and to the artists who made these photos)....oh, and thank you to EARTH who just amazingly just "is", despite all of our human efforts to subvert her.

13. all that capitalist magnates see in these photos is potential profits . . .
rather than appreciating the sheer beauty of creation that has been bestowed upon us, they immediately take inventory and start calculating how they can best profit by cutting, drilling, fishing, hunting, bulldozing, dumping, and otherwise destroying that which is the natural birthright of all humans and our fellow species . . .

that's the mindset that has to be changed if we really want to save the planet . . .

17. Stunning photos! Here's one that I like.
Not flashy, but it's us. Just a pale blue dot.



Great Sagan video.
