(psst, i see you ankh lol!) we all miss you.

I love you Ankh! Thanks for the beautiful pictures.

Whoa whoa!

I really like the eye of earth one in particular.
(way nice)

Delightful images! They bring out the scale of Nature, and you feel an insignificant part of something much larger. We have similar dust storms here in Australia, though the colours are different:



I remember seeing the full moon low on the horizon one night in New Zealand as I crested a hill. First snow on the South Island that day; the air was so crystal clear that, for the first time, I SAW the moon as a planet hanging in space. The feeling was eerie and dizzying.

during supermoon i saw the moon hanging like a grapefruit in the sky. it was so big and round

Lovely pictures. I like the Eye of Earth and the Lightning ones.

I was actually born and raised in Phoenix, and when I was younger, I'd always put on some swimming goggles and a rag tied around my mouth like a bandit and charge the dust storm with my stick-sword right when it hit!
Everyone hates them, but I love them!

Thanks Ankh!

Red Northern Lights are rare, Wolf, and not seen that often. But they are sure beautiful! : )

I could stay forever in a place like that:

Meerie, that's not fair. I think a lot of us would like to know what those giant-stone-square-bases-with-four-triangles-in-what-looks-like-a-desert are.

Ahahahahaha!!

I love you all, and I love this planet. Oh so much.

Often I wish I wasn't so limited in my perception and could have a sort of multiple layered view of nature to where, for example I could be percieving all these amazing places all at once as if I were there (excluding looking at pictures on the computer)

Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, in western Pacific Ocean:






These kind of clouds are called Mother of Pearls, or nacreous clouds. They are very rare, and mostly seen on the northen part of the earth, in the middle of winter:






The gap between Europe and the United States. This gap between these two tectonic plates is riddled with faults, valleys, volcanoes and hot springs. The plates are pulling apart at about 1 inch per year:
