London from Space
Superb photos taken by Andre Kuipers on the International Space Station. It gives an idea of how crowded is our little island and the sheer size of the city of London. The ring of light running through the green belt is the M25, the world's largest ring road. And I live under the arrow in the Medway Towns complex.

Look at that light pollution?! Do we REALLY need all those lights on at night?
ReplyDeleteAmazing... even at night the M25 appears like a ring of fire around London!!!

Couldn't agree with you more John, regarding our poor overcrowded island; this is actually quite sobering.
ReplyDeleteDear Monty
ReplyDeleteThe Hive World complex must be the next step. :)
