New Orleans
New Orleans. True-colour satellite image of the city of New Orleans (lower centre), Louisiana, USA. North is at top. Vegetation is green, water is blue and urban areas are white/grey. The city is bordered by Lake Pontchartrain (upper centre) to the North. The Mississippi River (brown) flows through the city from far left to bottom centre. The city is built upon the delta formed by river sediments carried into the Gulf of Mexico. As the supply of sediments is reduced by dams, the delta is slowly being reclaimed by the sea. The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway heads north from the city over the lake. Image taken on 26 April 2000 by Landsat 7s Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana, as seen from space. The true-color satellite image reveals a stunning landscape where nature and urbanization coexist harmoniously. In this snapshot taken on April 26,2000, by Landsat 7's Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+), we are presented with a bird's-eye view of the city's distinctive features. Situated in the lower center of the frame, New Orleans is bordered by Lake Pontchartrain to the north and traversed by the mighty Mississippi River flowing from left to bottom center. The lush green vegetation stands out against the blue waters and white/grey urban areas that dominate much of the scene. The photograph also highlights how New Orleans has been shaped over time by its unique geography. Built upon a delta formed by sediments carried into the Gulf of Mexico by rivers like the Mississippi, it faces an ongoing battle against coastal erosion as dams reduce sediment supply. However, amidst these challenges, iconic structures such as the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway can be seen extending northward across the lake. This extraordinary image not only captures New Orleans' natural beauty but also serves as a reminder of its vulnerability to environmental changes. It invites us to appreciate both its rich history and ongoing efforts to preserve this remarkable city for future generations.
