Commemorative plaque on the moon

Photos taken by the astronauts on moon during the Apollo missions in the late 60s and early 70s. The photo above shows a commemorative plaque left on the moon in during Apollo 15 in 1971 to remember the 14 deceased NASA astronauts and USSR cosmonauts. The tiny silver man represents the figure of a fallen astronaut.

I like the way that the photos below are very much like everyone elses holiday snaps: pictures of their own feet, panoramas and arty photos of shadows.
