I rarely make comments but I am on this site every single day. Though I admire the global mapping efforts made from spacecraft images, I dearly miss the airbrush maps we had in the seventies by J.L. Inge and P.M Bridges. I wish we'd go back to those.

' Photos as time capsule, these are just sublime! got any more??


The one thing that really struck me about the photos is that they are not just a screen grab of some archival film from a Discovery Channel programme, but real, genuine, personal, photos from someones album. Someone on this forum who was actually there!


Yeah, got any more.

What does the camera that took them look like!!
