Satellite view of Southern France and Northern Italy
June 22, 2002 - Sun is glinting off the calm water of the Mediterranean Sea south of France and west of boot-shaped Italy. Europes two big mountain ranges are visible in this image: the Pyrenees separating France and Spain at lower left, and the Alps separating France from Italy to the right of image center. The Alps appear to be holding on to more snow than their border-making counterparts to the west. In northern Italy, hazy skies could be a mixture of smoke from fires (red dots) and air pollution. The haze is reaching out over the Adriatic Sea to the far right of the image

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning satellite view of Southern France and Northern Italy, captured on June 22,2002. The Mediterranean Sea glistens under the sun's glint, revealing its serene and calm nature. As we explore this image further, Europe's two prominent mountain ranges come into focus. To the lower left lies the Pyrenees, acting as a natural border between France and Spain. On the right side of the image center stands the majestic Alps, separating France from Italy. Interestingly, it appears that the Alps have retained more snow compared to their western counterparts. Moving towards northern Italy, hazy skies dominate the scene; a combination of smoke from fires (indicated by red dots) and air pollution contribute to this atmospheric phenomenon. The haze extends over the Adriatic Sea on the far right side of this remarkable photograph. The true colors depicted in this landscape offer an authentic representation of these geographical features. With no human presence visible in this vast expanse viewed from space, one can truly appreciate Earth's natural beauty. This print by Stocktrek Images encapsulates not only breathtaking scenery but also provides valuable insights into topography and landforms found within Europe's diverse terrain - from mountains to seas - creating an awe-inspiring visual experience for all who encounter it.
