I think I can see Barack Obama's ears from there.

"Whoa! It's a loooong way down..."

Gravity... Or in this case lack of gravity is a good thing.

Fantastic photo! Had to share it with my grandson.

On a lighter note, the first thing that came to my mind looking at it was that scene from National Lampoon's "Christmas Vacation" where cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) was emptying his mobile home's toilet. "Merry Christmas! Sh___er's full!"

Sorry. I'll go sit down now...

I wonder where they're flying over. I'm always a sucker for that info, anyone know?

I think you're right about it being New Zealand. I've been trying to figure it out...

Now I'm wondering what camera they're using (I have an old Hasselblad), No doubt they are using digital; but is it Canon or Nikon?
