To Walk an Alien Land... - a photo on Flickriver

Website, Instagram, Facebook

To Walk an Alien Land... He sat foot upon the barren rock of a new world, new to man. There was a residual atmosphere of Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide but little or no Oxygen. There was widespread evidence of erosion indicating a prior abundance of water but there was little surface water now. They had spent decades in deep sleep and a small exploratory force had recently been awakened by the autopilot to resupply within the nearest system. There was little need for anyone to leave the ship as all resupply functions could be performed remotely by robotics. Spacesuits were still primitive and rarely used, but there were always a few who savoured the experience of walking a new world...

If you like photos like this then come and join us in a workshop in July in this location. For details see my website or DM me here at Flickr.

Thanks for all the kind support over the last year, it is much appreciated! A big thank you to the wonderful Flickr family!
