fifty years have ridden off into the sunset

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of
the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way
I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while
I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

This isn't actually one of mine, but I wanted it up here for the sake of the photograph itself. This is a photograph of Saturn by the Cassini spacecraft in orbit. It's a beautiful shot of the planet and its rings. Well, multiple shots actually -- it's a composite of 165 different images taken by the spacecraft over 12 hours.
In fact, Earth itself is visible just inside the outer ring, at the 10 o'clock position. That bright dot is Earth.
Kinda makes you think about just how small a speck Earth really is.

I'm not sure why I like this shot so much. Part of it is the combination of angles and light, but it's not the best picture I've ever taken or anything. I think it just evokes a sense of calm for me. Plus I like the way the walkway's angle seems to be reflected in the clouds above; you have them both widening into the foreground of the picture. The detail on the water is kinda neat but again nothing really special.
I dunno. I just like it, I guess.
