All Creation Praise Him

In time-lapse photography from the International Space Station, here is what it’s like to fly over the earth. Go full screen!


Eerily Beautiful

wonders of creation

Here’s extremely rare footage of a “leptocephalus”—the larva of an eel.

Isn’t he beautiful?

With a polite nod to American Digest.

The World Is So Full Of A Number Of Things

I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings

Those of you who enjoy the benefits of cable television will find this old hat, possibly.

I found it a pick-me-up. Try to ignore the fact that it’s an ad.


Akimiski Island

A photo for the Lord's Day

An island off the coast of Ontario as seen from a satellite.

Go here to see this photo in the huge scale it deserves—and for more satellite pictures of our amazing planet.

Which is your favorite? Mine might be the God’s-eye view of Tibet—it looks like frost on a window-pane.
