Counting Light Bulbs.
During the recent activities that have occurred on the International
space station, on succeeding nights in The month of November 2001, the space crew on the
Station photographed our blue planet at night. Of course It was not all done in the same
night. The results are Beyond descriptive words. They were able to screen out Anomalies
and obtained what can only be described as stunningly spectacular, mother Earth all lit
with her Lights. You can see the density of the large population's of our planet. It is
eerie, as though you are suspended in Space looking down.
One day it may be possible to zoom down to a given point, namely your
address.
However, for now, to enjoy this:

Alaskan adventures
I could write on a number of subjects about this great state but I am
not sure it would have appeal to everybody.
So.. I will be writing about certain subjects, only indigenous to
Alaska and to the tourists who come here to visit.
- The northern lights (Aurora Borealis)
- The valley of ten thousand smokes (mega volcano of 1912)
- The gathering of the eagles at Haines Alaska
- The gold mining days of Juneau
- The gold rush to the Yukon
If there is any other information you would like to know about the
great state of Alaska please send me an E-Mail and I
will do my best to find out the information. |
