Planet Earth – Glance from the Outer Space
Being an astronaut is, perhaps, the most widely-spread wishes among the little boys. Indeed, who would refuse a chance to rise up to the stars and have a look at our Planet Earth from the orbit? Actually, this opportunity today is much closer to people than ever before. You don’t even need to become an astronaut: spaceships for space travelers are already built and tickets are on sale… Though, if you are not ready yet to invest USD 20-35 millions into a space trip, you can still enjoy the pictures, taken from the outer space, featuring our home Planet Earth. By the way, with the so-called suborbital flights, a chance to look at the Earth from 100-160 km height may cost just as little as 200 000 USD.

Mystery and Magnificence of Waterscapes
Mother Nature, being the most talented artist on Planet Earth, continues to amaze us, the human race, with the exceptional and inimitable beauty and perfection of its masterpieces. Just like landscapes, waterscapes remain the most vivid artistic works, capable of revealing all the magnificence and true beauty of the sceneries, “drawn” by Nature. It is possible to say that waterscapes are often even more powerful creations in terms of emotional load and focus at some key or core elements. While landscapes are usually calm and relaxing, featuring multiple objects, such as trees, grass, houses, animals, buildings, clouds, etc, waterscapes often concentrate only on three key elements: water, sky, and stone. Thus, the special atmosphere of magnificence, greatness, and power is created.
With this showcase Cruzine offers its readers a gallery of waterscapes. It is a kind of hall of fame to Nature and its masterpieces. Each work, presented in this waterscape showcase, has its own peculiar character and emotional coloring, varying from tranquility and appeasement to the extremely vivid flashes of struggle and wild unbridled vigor. Looking at such sceneries, as shown at these illustrations, one gets more and more confident in the fact that such perfect natural masterpieces just could not be formed spontaneously as the result of evolution: every such waterscape adds points to the theory of the divine origin of Earth and everything on it…
