The Moon Over Afghanistan
Aug. 25, 2011
The thin blue line of Earth's atmosphere and a low sun painting the clouds red as the half moon sets over Afghanistan on August 22, 2011 – one of sixteen moonsets we see each day from the International Space Station.

Hi Ron, what an incredible shot! Keep them coming. We think about you guys lots up there. My two sons and I follow your ISS passes over our home or cottage whenever we get the chance. We live in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada. An hour by car west and slightly south of Toronto. Of course that would take you all of 3.8 seconds in the ISS. Have a good day, watch a Moon rise, or 6 for us.

Once again I look so very hard, as do my arteries, and I still cannot find the lines that divide us.
