This is not art, or is it? This magic spot exists and actually, it’s a close-up of a planet, of our planet: the Earth. It’s an image taken by a satellite that combines visible and infrared light, so basically it’s just a new perspective of the place where our lives come through.

We like to think of it as a reminder that finding new perspectives can bring joyfulness to an otherwise common event. And yes, even that endless zoom meeting of yours!

Here’s more info about the pic…In a remote part of the Western Desert in central Egypt, highly eroded plateaus rise from the desert floor. The bright speckles are ancient dry lakes, the salt deposits reflecting brightly. Long ago, water flowed off the plateau, forming the breaches seen on the plateaus’ edges. This desolate land between oases is surrounded by extensive sand dunes.
