Great view of Seattle and environs in new NASA photo from space station


We never get tired of these … maybe we’re all narcissists or just like to realize what a great place we live in. I mean, there’s the water … and there’s The Mountain … and the big mountain chain that makes you understand plate tectonics in ways you can’t from the ground …

The International Space Station has proven to be a pretty remarkable platform for these snapshots of us … of our home.

Here are those two photos to click on for larger view — Check out the gallery above for caption information and for many more  views of Seattle from space.
