    e photograph attached was taken by the crew on board the Columbia during its last mission, on a cloudless day.

    The picture is of Europe and Africa when the sun is setting. Half of the picture is in night. The bright dots you see are
    the cities' lights.

    The top part of Africa is the Sahara Desert.
    Note that the lights are already on in Holland, Paris, and Barcelona, and that's it's still daylight in Dublin, London, Lisbon,
    and Madrid.

    The sun is still shining on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Mediterranean Sea is already in darkness.
    In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean you can see the Azores Islands; below them to the right are the Madeira Islands; a bit
    below are the Canary Islands; and further South, close to the farthest western point of Africa, are the Cape Verde islands.

    Note that the Sahara is huge and can be seen clearly both during Daytime and night time.

    To the left, on top, is Greenland, totally frozen.

    Well i have to own up to those that didn't see the clue, the desktop pic i posted was faked by me as a joke !

    I replaced the original middle bottom image with a resized screenshot of wilders. If you take another look you should be able to notice that there are no borders/address bar/tray etc, as there would be if had been a real live display of online at wilders.

    Sorry if you were misled. I only wish i had something so grand lol.

    Cheers Namor - it's a nicely drawn wallpaper - but to be honest for some reason it got old fairly quickly. I've found a source & snagged that Samurai wallpaper of yours now - thanks for showing it :thumb:

    Natty, you're as mad as a box of frogs lol - is there such a thing as polygothic tendencies ? As always, you're a sweety *hugs*.

    And yes ~ you can say I'm "polygothic".

    And yep. Gotta praise them desktops.

    I really like most of YOUR images, people ! :)
