Hi

The U.S. Geological Survey has released a new selection of particularly interesting images from the Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 satellites.

Have a look at these stunning pictures from space. I think that they are like abstract paintings, and they make you wonder at the beauty of our planet.

Here's the link:

Scroll down to see all the pictures.

I'm glad that you all liked them. I find them inspirational, and they give me new idaes for painting abstract paintings.
