EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning satellite image captures the breathtaking beauty of Paris, the enchanting capital and largest city of France. With its north-oriented perspective, this true-color photograph showcases an array of captivating details. Urban areas are depicted in varying shades of grey, while lush forests emerge as a striking dark green. Light green patches represent grazing areas, while vibrant yellow hues symbolize vast crop fields. The bare ground is portrayed in pale yellow or brown tones, almost resembling a pristine white canvas waiting to be explored. The Seine River gracefully winds its way from the bottom center towards the top left corner, appearing as a deep black ribbon cutting through the city's heart. Another prominent river, Marne, flows from the top right before joining forces with the Seine. As we zoom out from this mesmerizing metropolis, we witness how Paris harmoniously coexists with nature. Surrounding it like a patchwork quilt are agricultural fields that paint a picturesque landscape around this bustling urban hub. Notably visible within this scene are two vital gateways: Charles de Gaulle Airport located in the upper right corner and Paris-Orly Airport situated at lower center stage. Captured by America's Landsat-5 satellite technology, this remarkable print encapsulates both the grandeur and intricacy of one of Europe's most iconic cities - Paris!
