here's some pictures i appropriated from somebody's satellite
This is of the Rocky Mtns.
mangled with the site editor
The Himalayas
courtesy NASA ( i think )
so i found these photos and appropriated them
here's some more of the Himilayas
but instead of requesting data (which i could also do, apparently),
i'm just mucking about with a photo editor.

these are of the Amazon.
apparently you can request specific color-coded data like temperatures surrounding an active volcano,
deforestation over time, practically anything.

or you just scroll through their visual data base till you see something you like,
The where, why and when are besides the point.

Earth/Topo Paintings

i have no idea where this top left painting is.
i'm thinking it's from @'89.
i wonder if i liked it then as much as i do now?

Looking through my piles i found some really cool pics i had forgotten about.
i swear this boulder was so strange, almost like a flake of rust 6' x 3' x 3' weighing @ 1 1/2 tons.
Oddly enough, it had completely disappeared when i went back looking for it a week later.
