Coasts are so rich and diverse. This flight path perfectly aligns with South America’s Pacific Coast - and with Steve Thomas soulful music.


Most of the coastal land is dry, revealing a beautiful range of colors of the land below. Clouds tell the story, forming over the Pacific in the moist wind from the west. Then the clouds dissipate as the air rises over the Andes Mountains, and clouds reform over the land beyond. Well executed by astronaut Megan McArthur.

Steve Thomas Guitarscapes, with his soulful electric guitar enhanced with digital magic, provides the perfect mindset to gracefully watch the Earth below. Timothy C. Takach, composer, put those words to music, inspired to “make better humans through art”. What a powerful thought. Making better humans through art.
