holy shit

🙏 thanks a lot, it always warm my heart seeing this kind of appreciation for my little project

If I understood correctly it is both dredging but also the natural currents (after the initial dredging) that widened this pass after a hurricane made it appear first

(but that's just what I gathered from reading here and there about this zone, I could be wrong tbh)

Elevation model. River plain from white (low) to dark blue (high). Terrace from White-grey to yellow-ocre-green/blue-white. Shows quadrangles on the terrace, and many rivers bends and meanders in the distinctly lower floodplain.

Vue oblique depuis l’ISS de la côte ouest de la France, avec la Bretagne et l’estuaire de la Gironde visibles sous des nuages épars. Un panneau solaire de la Station occupe le haut de l’image, et la courbure de la Terre se dessine le long de l’horizon.

🇫🇷 Et l’ouest de la France évidemment !

Vue depuis l’ISS des Bahamas aux eaux turquoise éclatantes, avec des îles et bancs de sable cernés de récifs coralliens. La courbure de la Terre et la finesse de l’atmosphère bleutée apparaissent à l’horizon, tandis qu’un module de la Station spatiale internationale est visible sur la droite.

📸 Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais faire ça : transformer mes photos de missions en fonds d’écran 🚀

La mission de Sophie me motive à replonger dans mes clichés.

I much prefer that to the usual desertification from deforestation

I made this a while ago. Lena delta.
(I have several other variants.)

If you're curious to see what it looks like without snow, I that that one in 2018 ⬇️

In the image center, an opaque oval cloud of gray gas aligned from 1 o\u2019clock to 7 o\u2019clock hides a star. Two strong beams of light from the star emerge from large holes in both sides of the cloud, forming narrow cones extending toward 10 o\u2019clock and 4 o\u2019clock. The central cloud is surrounded by concentric, wispy shells of gas illuminated by the star\u2019s light. The shells reflect extra light where they\u2019re hit by the twin beams. A crowd of smaller stars with cross-shaped spikes over them surrounds the nebula on a black background.

'It feels gentle here' - winding fields around river bends, orderly trees and bushy river reeds! This aerial embroidery was a great way to start 2026 - lots and lots of green! It feels good to be back to doing knots too :) available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a... #landscape
