EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Las Vegas, taken from a satellite image, showcases the vibrant city in all its glory. The aerial view reveals an incredible landscape where the north is at the top. With lush green vegetation contrasting against the arid desert in shades of brown, and bare soil appearing white, this image truly captures the essence of this unique location. At first glance, one cannot miss the stunning blue water that dominates a significant portion of the photograph - Lake Mead. This man-made lake is not only visually striking but also holds great significance as it is recognized as the largest man-made lake globally. Formed by impounding water through Hoover Dam, Lake Mead plays a crucial role in meeting Las Vegas' high demand for water required to sustain its numerous golf courses and gardens. Las Vegas itself stands out as Nevada's most populous city and boasts an extraordinary blend of natural beauty and artificial wonders. Its urbanization can be observed from space through this satellite image, showcasing how land use has transformed over time to accommodate tourism and other developmental needs. Overall, this remarkable print serves as a testament to Las Vegas' geographical diversity while highlighting its status as a major American city nestled within an arid basin.
