The beauty of the M25 from space

Have you ever noticed how the transport zones maps of London look like a big mould growth in a petri dish? I always thought that was quite telling.

A lot of good can come out of a bit of mould in a petri dish. Ask Alexander Fleming

Oh aye, I didn't say it was bad. Just....telling.

Presumably less/no lighting along that stretch.

Or better cut-offs/designed lamps reducing waste directed skyward.

Or simply low cloud/localised fog: the NASA image data suggests 10% cloud cover in that shot (early evening, Feb 4th, 2003).

Not just people, like life man. Like if you put 'humanity' into a petri dish, London transport zones is what it would turn into after a couple of days, and it would be hella interesting, but at the same time you wouldn't want to touch it, ya know?

Definitely, especially not in the summer

North Korea's much better from space

Well, their "earth observation / ICBM rocket thing" facepalmed into the Yellow Sea - they wanted to observe forests and stuff in the glorious DPRNK, now they'll just have to use GoogleEarth like the rest of us

Looks like a great, golden scab
