 This is a spiraling driveway leading to the top of a parking structure. Someone had mentioned that if you look at this pic from a distance, it looks like the Earth sitting on top of a 3D cone (with a little imagination.) Therefore, this image can be interpreted two different ways to fit this challenge. One being the obvious... looking up through the spiral of a parking structure. The second, when viewed from a distance, implys being on the ground in a foreign world looking up at a more familiar place. Ride the spiral.

overlooking that speck of blue is easy because this is such a wonderfully composed shot..
(that and realizing it is a basic challenge).

Nice. The brightness in the center seems a little to bright, but it doesn't take away to much I don't think.

It's too contrasted for me.. no doubt because of backlighting
