I've already downloaded the file. It's over 180 Mbytes uncompressed and will easily print at least 40x40 on a Lambda. I'm gonna get one printed out next week. Sweet!

Caution: if you click on the link to the Flickr site to download, it could take some time to load the page if you have a slow connection or slow processor. The download file itself if nearly 18 Mbytes.

Is it just me or has Desertification really kicked in?

You should see the lack of snow in Alberta this year.

We've got some North of Edmonton, but as you drive south about an hour, it's like hitting a wall, and there's just a skiff in the ditches that has blown off the fields and stayed in the ditch. The rest is bare and dry.

It's gonna be bad come summer if sumpin don't change right quick.

The image is a composite, created using a number of swaths of the Earth’s surface taken on Jan. 4, 2012.

I'm not saying it isn't dry. It's dry as heck down here. Just pointing out when it was taken.

+1 we had major flooding last year and this year looks like back to drought conditions if things don't change soon.....

No water this summer fo sho. There just isn't any snow. Hopefully Colorado doesn't  dry up.    Cool pic though...
