A city photographed at night with a 400mm lens by the Expedition 35 crew of the International Space Station in April 2013. NASA's database places the photo center near Hamburg in northern Germany. Dense white and yellow lights sit on black ground, with main roads reaching out in every direction.

About this wallpaper
An ISS photograph from NASA's image library (iss035e017357, taken 7 April 2013 at 00:14 GMT with a 400mm lens), cropped to 9:16 around the city lights. NASA's Gateway to Astronaut Photography records an image-matched photo center of 53.6° N, 10.0° E, near Hamburg (an estimate NASA marks as unverified). Dense white and yellow lights fill the center, a dark band that looks like a river crosses the upper left, and yellow lines of main roads reach outward; the top and corners are black ground. A public-domain NASA photograph.
On the home screen
The lights cluster in the center and the top and corners are black, so icons at the top keep the city center visible.
On the lock screen
The top is nearly black and a white clock reads well, though the edge of the lights reaches into the upper right.
Colors and mood
Black ground, white and yellow city lights and yellow road lines.
