Abstract Images of the Earth
A breathtaking collection of abstract satellite photos demonstrating the “impressionist, cubist and pointillist” side of the earth’s landscape.
The images [...] were taken at the turn of the Millennium, when NASA’s scientists had a brilliant idea: to scan through 400,000 images taken by the Landsat 7 satellite and display only the most the most beautiful. A handful of the best were painstakingly chosen and then displayed at the Library of Congress in 2000.
Bonus: all the images are available in wallpaper size for your computer desktop. Featured above: The Optimist, Kalahari Desert Namibia. Below: Guinea-Bissau.[via link]
