Earth's city lights.

very cool, looks a lot like F@H though.

The Nile looks like a lighting bolt!

The one thing I've always loved about that picture is the contrast between North and South Korea.

^ Made more evident with Seoul so close to the border.

I love how the US fades to black until the West Coast

Iceland looks like a duck

It's an awesome picture.
It's something that you could look at for hours.
Too bad there's not a hi res version of it.
*hint, hint*

Is 8200x4100 large enough?

That pic never ceases to amaze me. I always loved how the eastern half of the US is all lit up,and the west is dark until the pacific. In Kansas and Nebraska it's towns all in little rows. It's as if people moved west, they said "Lets put a town here, and here...and oh wait....here!
Thanks to TB for the huuuuuge image!

There's also a 30,000x15,000px version available

Where? That would be awesome!

I've clicked the link TB posted, and looking at the image I can't help to feel it looks more like a blown up version of the one he posted previously, like there's not enough sharpness.

Is that 54,045,400,000,000 x 98,555,533,100px version a high quality one?

I really love this kind of images, gives you almost a fresh perspective over the entire planet, and you keep trying to find something interesting or some weird pattern or something.

Or maybe I'm just going insane, which would explain a lot.

It started out as two 4100x4100 png's that I merged. The only problem was that I then couldn't find a site to host the 10 meg image so I had to dumb it down to a 1.5 meg jpg.

Thanks TB for the larger pic.
Now I can gaze into the light and be at wonder of it all.

If you have trouble viewing it like I and others have, save it to your computer and it'll be visible.

You win!

I see a new game... Circle a cluster of lights, crop the image and we have to name the city. 💡

Interesting comparitive picture...

 

[PeterJB]

The old Beamer looks so much better!

 

[land sea air]

Actually I think that might be F3 vs F1

[Danny]

Nice, but the reflection in the paint ruins it a bit.

 

[PeterJB]

They're both F1. It's the BMW Sauber F1.09 and the BMW Sauber F1.08.

A few photos I took of amazing and cool things today at the Banksy exhibition, the first 4 are Banksy pieces, the others are just museum pieces;

2009 is so lame (apart from the slicks)

Looks like all the running from that mean ol' putty tat finally caught up with him!

 

[Diego440]

Moglet, those are amazing pics! You got any more of the Banksy exhibition?? Everyone at work just flipped when I told them I (kinda) knew someone who's been to the Banksy exhibition and I had the pictures to prove it!

We've all been following the exhibit news for some time.

It's funny how much of a big deal Banksy is in the rest of the world now.

It's quite amusing to think that the council here (Near his regular haunts) used to spend days and thousands of pounds scrubbing his work off of walls.
Ahhh, memories.

Banksy is brilliant. I love the mystique around him.

I've got loads of photos, I'll upload the rest tomorrow. I might be going to see it again next week, so many people want me to go with them!

I remember when I first heard about him I was in uni at Taunton, quite a few people thought he was a guy at my uni called Chris Banks who was obsessed with graffiti and street art. It would have been a bit too obvious IMO.

I love how most councils now go out of their way to preserve his work!
