It’s being quite popular among Russian astronauts, or actually the Cosmonauts to blog from space, while staying on the International Space Station. As a result we can get pretty unique photos with live comments of how our Earth can be seen from that altitude, unedited and pretty amateur looking making this kind of fun even more charming.
Here we have a huge pack of freshly shoot photos while flying somewhere there above our heads, gotten directly from Russian space agency as the space blogger has published them live thru his blogging account. It’s twenty first century, baby!

Incredible pictures, sadly Mexico is missing
Only 1 shot of Saint-Petersburg!?
unbelievable pictures!!
Great photos! But was that HAM sign on the earth?
Absolutely beautiful! Except for Houston, Texas. That is a miserable place…
Truly beautiful photos. The first two pics of the Northern Lights from space are absolutely amazing! They look like something out of a sci-fi film.
And the picture of New Zealand’s south island (probably near Christchurch) shows how narrow the island is.
My only wish in this photo set was to see some of Australia (but NZ is close enough).
And all the photos of the Crimea make me think one of the astronauts (or cosmonauts) was from there.
nope sunshine,
pragmatic Russians are preparing to take over the ports, that they believe, belong to them.

For those who are missing pictures of some places they’d like tos ee, just go to Google Earth.
Awesome Post. Been following this page for quite some time. And it has never disappointed me until I saw that on page 4 where it says Chicago …. well Its not Chicago.
As a Chicagoan myself , gotta be the bare of bad news but you got that one wrong.
Bloody Amazing pics!!!! Very Nice
Beautiful pics!
May i ask what camera was used?
EXIF data says the pictures were shot with Nikon D3/D3X
The sign is on Al-Futaisi Island. It says HAMAD while the HAM is visible now. It is owned by Sheik Hamad Bin Hamdan Al-Nayhan also known as the Rainbow Sheik. He is a philathropist and 4×4 enthusiast and expert. The letters are supposed to be 500 feet wide and are filled with Seawater. source – Google
