This beautiful picture cost only $750 dollars and it is very particular because it was taken in a very special way. You guys will think it sounds crazy but it was taken from a helium balloon!.
The author ( a brithis man named Robert Harrison) attached his digital camera to a balloon, the digital camera was set-up in a way it was taking pictures every 5 minutes until it reached 22 miles (around 35 kilometers) above the surface of the Earth. After, it came down on a parachute.
The problem now was to find the camera!!! but no, the camera had a GPS attached to it so the guy could find it without problem ( unless it fell down in the middle of the ocean ^_^ ), but luckily it didn't.
I just wanted to share this story because i find it really cool, plus the picture is just beautiful. :)
