Desert Shot
ISS photos also give a surprising new perspective to deserts on Earth, similar to the Himalayas. This shot of the deserts in Iran looks more like the inside of marble or impressionistic painting. The image does not really show the traditional clichés that come to mind when we hear the word desert.
The Reef Seen From Above
