Severn estuary. True-colour satellite image of the estuary of the River Severn, bordered by southwest England (at right) and southeast Wales (at left). North is at top. The cities of Bristol (at lower right) and Cardiff (lower centre left) are seen, as are the towns of Newport (at lower centre) and Gloucester (at upper right). The valleys in the hills north of Cardiff contain urban areas. Agricultural areas appear as a patchwork of fields in the lowlands. The estuary has two major bridges crossing it (at lower centre).

EDITORS COMMENTS
This true-colour satellite image showcases the stunning beauty of the Severn estuary in the United Kingdom. The estuary, formed by the River Severn, gracefully winds its way through southwest England and southeast Wales. With north at the top of the photo, one can admire the cities and towns that dot its shores. The bustling city of Bristol is visible towards the lower right corner, while Cardiff takes center stage towards the lower centre left. Newport and Gloucester also make their presence known in this breathtaking snapshot of Earth from space. As we explore further into this image, we notice urban areas nestled within valleys north of Cardiff. Agricultural fields create a mesmerizing patchwork pattern across lowland areas, showcasing human interaction with nature in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Two prominent bridges elegantly span across this vast estuary near its centre point. As Britain's longest river stretching approximately 338 kilometres long, it comes as no surprise that this natural wonder has been captured by Landsat-5 satellite imagery. Science Photo Library brings us yet another remarkable glimpse into our planet's diverse landscapes with this awe-inspiring print of Severn estuary - a testament to both Earth science and artistic appreciation for our beautiful British Isles.
