Scotland from Space.

[TomN94]

I follow @Cmdr_Hadfield on Twitter, and for those who don't know, he is the commander of the International space station, and today he passed over Scotland, and took some incredible photos.

For those who don't follow him on Twitter or Facebook, here they are.

"The low, late afternoon February sun shines across the skinny waist of Scotland, almost to Edinburgh."


"Isle of Skye, Scotland, with February snow on the peaks. Mist and mountains - a stirring landscape."


"Scotland - from Prestwick to Glasgow, past Loch Lomond to Inveraray."


"The ruggedness of Scotland evident in the snowy hills and lochs north of the Firth of Clyde."


"The Scottish east coast as-seen from space, Montrose to Peterhead, Aberdeen at the centre."


"Glasgow and the bonnie, bonnie hills of Loch Lomond."


"Tonight's Finale: Edinburgh to Dundee, with the big Tay and Forth bridges visible. Save the rest for another day!"


I shall update this tomorrow if he posts more Scotland ones! This is his Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/AstronautChrisHadfield
