Photo ID: AS11-36-5355, taken 16th July 1969 on 70mm film.

"..View of Earth, showing Africa, Europe and Asia taken by Apollo 11 crewmember.."

"..Most of Africa and portions of Europe and Asia can be seen in this spectacular photograph taken from the Apollo 11 spacecraft during its translunar insertion. The spacecraft was about 98,000 nautical miles from Earth when this picture was made.."

* In the unlikely event that anyone should buy the print, all proceeds will be redirected to DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee). *

I took a photo of an almost perfect dandelion on the meadow today and it reminded me, given the terrible natural disasters in the news at the moment, how fragile our planet is and how fragile we are.

That's really a good piece Andy. It makes the point rather dramatically.

At the end of time, a moment will come when just one man remains. Then the moment will pass. Man will be gone. There will be nothing to show that we were ever here... but stardust.
