Description
This shot over NSW ... or possibly Victoria ... was taken from the plane I flew from Sydney to Melbourne in. Somehow it manages to capture enough curvature and deep sky above to look almost like a space shot. The Earth really is an amazing place and just lovelier than any jewel I've seen.^_^
*hugs the planet*

Well if we get our shit together and figure out how to live on this planet we'll have earned our right to it. If we don't we'll all be dead and thus will be the price for our stupidity. Either way - the earth wins, kinda. It either gets a species capable of helping it grow or we kill ourselves off, thus alleviating it of us.
Eh, I try to be positive XD
or just.... really really weird.
But yeh, it's an amazing place.

May I use this picture as an illustration on a web page? I will credit you of course.
The page is for a non-profit organisation, so I can't offer you any money for it, unfortunately...

Sounds interesting - what's the website just out of curiosity?

CareforClimate.org or CareforClimate.ch. It's still a very small organisation based in Switzerland and their current website is crap. That's why they hired me. I'm not a learned web designer, but they don't have the budget to do better and I can do better than what they have now, so everyone's happy.
I'm also not quite sure what pictures I will use for the final layout. I'm just asking permission for anything I come across that looks interesting.
Thanks for your interest.

Sounds great - I could also send you much larger images if you need to work on just bits. Let me know which if you need any larger ones and I'll hunt them off my archives.
Also feel free to use any of my pics always good to go to a good cause

You're the best!
I'm currently still evaluating what pictures I'll use and how, so it's still up to chance if I will use the picture at the moment (it also depends on the feedback of my co-workers). But I'm glad that you gave me your consent.
I'll get back to you as soon as anything's decided.

Wow, when I saw the thumbnail I thought it must have been a terragen thing or something, really did think it was a space shot.
It looks awesome.

Thanks, I'd love to be that good at terragen though lol. My poor terragen landscapes look like early versions of Lander XD
Still, earth is so pretty I hardly need it. ^_^
