jason kottke recently blogged a video that showed what the earth would look like if it had saturnine rings. at night, the rings would dazzle in the sky like rainbow road in mariokart. here are some photo mock-ups that blew my mind. the mockups were created according to the orientation of the photograph and the location's longitude/latitude. they also adhere to the the roche limit for the earth.
