This is a very high exposure picture of the nigh side of the world. City lights, auroras, starts and Venus can be seen.

Also, do you realize how thin our atmosphere really is? We’re all living in a small fish tank. Everything we release into that thin layer of air matters.

I often think this when I visit mountainous areas, like Switzerland.

If you go up, even if only a couple of kilometres, the number of living things drops so very fast.

By the time you reach the snow line, the vast majority of living things cannot survive.

Even with high exposure, the light for such a photo has to come from somewhere.

No tank.
Gossamer thin coating on a mass of boiling rock. All the life in the universe is a coating, thinner than blue paint on a basketball.

The ornament without a tree hanging in space.
