This is the picture taken by Steve McCurry for the National Geographic magazine in Peshawar, Pakistan in 1984.

This picture means a lot to me on a personal level; the power of one man with convictions can change the whole world. Never underestimate the power of one. Winston Churchills words come to mind; "In matters of style, flow with the current. In matters of principal, stand like a rock."

Mammatus cloud formation in Hastings, Nebraska, USA from 2004. The most beautiful thing is that this picture has seen little or no editing to make it look like this. Research some more about these beautiful formations at Wikipedia.

This picture puts the universe in perspective. Just because the atmosphere blocks our view of reality does not mean it is not there. Even at this calm moment as you read these words, the earth is traveling at thousands of km/hr!!! © Astrophoto
