View from my balcony this morning. Only wished it came on a day I didn’t have to rush out the door to work.

The blog of Donald Pettit, currently aboard the ISS:
You notice patterns: clouds over cold oceans look different than clouds over warm oceans. Sometimes the continents are all cloud-covered, so you have no recognizable landmass to help you gauge where you are. If you see a crisscross of jet contrails glistening in the sun above the clouds, you know you are over the United States.
Lightning storms flash like gigantic fireflies looking for mates half a continent away. You see patterns on the ocean surface, swirls and vortices on large scales, wave diffraction patterns around capes, solitary waves forming long lines out in the middle of nowhere, and rivers that look like they are spilling milk chocolate into turquoise oceans.

oof.
If I ever get married… I would want one of these shots. (note to an alternate universe)
The sun joined us for a bit today. Nice reprieve. (Taken with instagram)
One of the first things I bought for my little treehouse in the woods
I’ve been thinking about this for a little while, but this amazing craziness pushed it right along.
This blog has started to have two very distinct purposes- it started as a place to gather and post things that I like and care about.
The other purpose has developed over time as a place to share my photography.
The audience for one is smaller, but filled with people with people I know who also care and like about the same things. However most of you have been drawn here for the photography, which I am eternally grateful for.
So if you are here for the photography from Europe (primarily Amsterdam) and travels further afield, stay right where you are. I have some big photography trips planned that will hopefully feed our collective wanderlust.
And if you are interested in other things, you are all welcome to come on over to filethisunder.tumblr.com Just be warned that it’s not going to be filled with photos from Europe. I know some pretty cool people doing pretty cool things with their lives. I’m into science and design. I run (which feeds into where I work) and I’m getting into cycling more now that I’m living in a country that I don’t take my life into my hands every time I ride. I’m usually reading some book, experimenting on some project, and cooking up some deliciousness in the kitchen. I’m starting an MBA program in April. I’m learning Dutch. In general, I like too many things to count.
In sum: stay here for the photography work. Come over to filethisunder.tumblr.com for the heart and soul of the worker.
And thanks for coming. It means a lot to me that you are here.
