... the world doesn't always look blue and green... flying over the earth today, I found quite amazing sand formations in Takla-Makan (Desert of Death), China, (click to enlarge).

[Image]If you have Google Earth, you can download my placemark from the first location here, or look it up at Google-maps here. Also interesting: try this placemark, which seems to show some wheel traces in the desert that you can follow for endless miles.Special thanks to Andi for the hint.

From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace,
it's the voice of every man [...]

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.
~ Bette Midler, From A Distance
