Yesterday, the official Twitter account of the International Space Station posted a short video interview in which NASA astronaut Doug Hurley explains what it's like to try and capture the beauty of Earth from 250 miles above.
Every day, NASA releases a photograph from their collection that allows us to admire the great blue and green planet we call Earth. Recently, the agency released a picture of a group of small island cays in the Bahamas. The most interesting aspect of the photo is not the location, but a little bit of detail that reveals itself when you closely examine the photo.
Bahamas-based underwater photographer Elena Kalis and her daughter Sacha Kalis have a deep connection with the water. Elena has been an underwater photographer for many years, and Sacha, thanks in part to her mother's encouragement and in part to her own natural affinity to the water, says she "learned to swim before she could walk."
Together, they create dream-like, peaceful portraits that capture Sacha's world beneath the waves and her connection to all the creatures that make the waters of the Bahamas their home.
