The Isles of Greece during a clear night pass over Europe. Athens shining brightly along the Mediterranean Sea. A very surreal feeling to view the splendor of this ancient land from outer space.

@humanseverywher Of course, the purpose of handheld imagery is quite different from pics of monitoring satellites.

@PC0101 thanks for the reply, i see..we need more of these pics, they give another perspective instead of the straight down satellite images
