G. Reid Wiseman, a NASA astronaut currently serving aboard the International Space Station as the mission's flight engineer, is known for his frequent Twitter photo posts of the Earth below.
In recent weeks Wiseman has posted images of oceans, clouds, cities and flying through the aurora borealis... This morning he brought New Orleans a unique view of itself, from a few miles up via 800mm lens.
#NOLA with the new 800mm. I’m having too much fun with this lens. pic.twitter.com/RJc7NQGse0
