EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the true colors of northwest Wales, offering a stunning aerial view of this picturesque region. The image, taken by the Landsat-5 satellite, captures the natural beauty and diversity of Great Britain's northwestern corner. With the city of Bangor nestled along the coast at upper center, it is evident that most of this area remains rural and untouched. The prominent island off the northwest coast is Anglesey, separated from mainland Wales by the Menai Strait. At upper center lies Snowdonia, a breathtaking region known for its majestic peaks and home to Mount Snowdon, which stands tall as Wales' highest point at 1085 meters. In contrast to Snowdonia's rugged terrain, the lower frame reveals the Cambrian mountains stretching from north to south. This mountain range adds another layer of scenic charm to an already enchanting landscape. At lower left lies Cardigan Bay - Wales' largest bay - adding a touch of tranquility to this vibrant composition. As you explore every detail in this photograph print, it becomes clear why northwest Wales has captivated visitors with its awe-inspiring scenery for centuries. This remarkable image serves as a reminder not only of our planet's extraordinary beauty but also highlights how advancements in earth science have allowed us to appreciate these wonders from space.
