(28 March 2012) --- One of the Expedition 30 crew members photographed this night scene while the International Space Station was flying at an altitude approximately 240 miles over the eastern North Atlantic. The night lights of the cities of Ireland, in the foreground, and the United Kingdom, in the back and to the right, are contrasted by the bright sunrise in the background. The greens and purples of the Aurora Borealis are seen along the rest of the horizon.
First flower of the year. Spent the day pruning the roses, mowing the lawn and taking rubbish to the tip. What a life I lead.
