Visit to Daytona Florida
I had some business to do in Daytona Florida, which meant that I had the opportunity to visit Daytona Beach. Lots of scenery but not many people this time of year. I captured these scenes with my little Canon S95. Click on the photos for higher res versions.
Earth as Art
NASA has put together an extraordinary new booklet: Earth as Art. Here is an excerpt from the Introduction:
This book celebrates Earth’s aesthetic beauty in the patterns, shapes, colors, and textures of the land, oceans, ice, and atmosphere. Earth-observing environmental satellites can measure outside the visible range of light, so these images show more than what is visible to the naked eye. The beauty of Earth is clear, and the artistry ranges from the surreal to the sublime. Truly, by escaping Earth’s gravity we discovered its attraction.Let this booklet load up and enjoy the show. Earth as you've never seen it before, from satellites.

This is one of a series of cloud photos that I've posted at DI.
