Purty, indeed. :thumb

Any links for those images in hi res? I might add some to my wallpaper rotation.

The pic posted is the first pic here: https://hubblesite.org/images/gallery

I'm sure the high-res pics are available on that site. All Hubble's images are, but I don't have direct links sorry.

Here is a good start: https://hubblesite.org/hubble-30th-anniversary/images

Hope this helps :thumb

There's a vineyard near Canberra with hundreds of resident ducks. Lots of free fertiliser and no bugs eating the grapes or vines :thumb

Alabama Hills just outside Lone Pine California, site of numerous movies & TV shows. The Lone Ranger TV series was filmed here along multiple westerns.

That's Mount Whitney in the upper right toward the back with the pointed ridges leading up to it from the left.
