Isn't it amazing that we live in a world where people have gone to the moon? In my mind, that doesn't seem all that significant. It happened nearly 50 years ago, and we've done so much since then. But think about it. We've sent humans to another celestial body. It's a pretty amazing thing.

And it puts our little world into perspective. What seems so big and durable is really small and fragile. Isn't this world a beautiful place? I look at the Earth in these photos and I don't try to pick out my country. I see Earth, as a whole, as my home. It is our home, floating in the blackness of space.

Fire

There's something hauntingly beautiful about this image. Not just the colors, but the knowledge of what it is. Knowing that, at the tip of that rocket, are three people getting thrown upwards and thousands of miles per hour. And not just that, but knowing that they are going somewhere that we've never been before, and knowing that they could easily not come back, but going anyway.

The Beauty All Around Us

Car Stuff

A Citroen DS estate. Definitely one of the most interesting cars I have ever seen.

The 911 over the years.

Mercedes W123 chassis sedans on the assembly line in the late 1970s.

Style and elegance.

Alfa Romeo Spider. Definitely an incredible car.

Bringing Back the Classics (Sort Of)

Blood Dragon -

Basically, it's an 80s action movie - with all the puns and bad humor - wrapped up in a game. It's a $15 DLC on Steam, and totally worth playing.

Four Planets in One Frame

Three planets in conjunction - Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter - just above the horizon.

With Earth in the foreground.

Far Away Places

Let your imagination take you where you cannot go.

Two Hobbies Combined

Combining photo history and astronomy history: the eclipse of July 28th, 1851 taken by a Deguerreotype camera (aka the first photographic process invented).
