Nice clouds, are they 4 or 2k?. You have any earth clouds? I'd like to see what you'd make of them.
Also I tried to upload my clouds to celestial visions but the link you sent me isnt working since you changed the domain name and i cant remember how you to it, could you send me another msg? I looked all over the site for instructions but couldnt find any.

Hi Don,

Actually that photo was taken over Algeria, looking northwards. Have a look at this Google Maps link:

The NASA image is quite beautiful, btw.

No worries, Don. I'm kind of the idiot-savant of Earth visualization. ;)
