Default Alpine shadows and the Apollo 15 landing site

Here are a couple of shots taken from the 26th March. The first is of
some dramatic alpine shadows together with the Vallis Alpes...

Great work, Pete. The debris field around Trouvelot is also
really interesting.

The second is of the Hadley Rille region on the Moon, which is where
Apollo 15 landed...

Digging around, I came up with an interesting shot of the site taken
from lunar orbit during the Apollo 15 mission. The orientation and
lighting are not too dissimilar.

I like yours better. Less expensive - less dangerous.

Splendid,
Keep up the good work,
Ben
