Acknowledgments, Additional Notes, and Sources
My original plan for my photography posts was to involve an embedded Google Maps window which would have provided some viewer interaction with the post. Unfortunately, the iframe for embedding Google Maps is unsupported on Steemit. Instead, I provided two screenshots, one at low Earth orbit elevation and the other at a near-surface aerial view. Google Maps links are provided below.
