EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning true-colour satellite image captures the vibrant cityscape of Marseille, France, and its surrounding area. The photograph showcases the diverse landscape with remarkable clarity and detail. In this aerial view, Marseille is located in the lower right corner, nestled amidst a mountainous region. The urban areas of Marseille appear as shades of grey against the backdrop of lush green forests. Light green patches represent grazing areas while yellow hues indicate cultivated crops that dot the countryside. Bare ground stands out in pale yellow or brown tones, almost resembling white. The Mediterranean Sea stretches across the lower frame of the image, displaying its deep blue allure. Towards the top left corner lies the Etang de Berre lagoon, also shimmering in shades of blue. Two prominent rivers are visible - the Rhone flowing from top left to meet with the sea and the Durance meandering from top right towards top center. This photo was captured by Landsat-5, an American satellite known for its high-resolution imagery at 30 meters per pixel. It beautifully highlights not only Marseille's urbanization but also provides a glimpse into nature's wonders such as Camargue region within Rhone delta. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print offers a unique perspective on Marseille's beauty from space – an awe-inspiring testament to both human civilization and natural splendor.
