EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 3D satellite image of Lhasa, Tibet, revealing the breathtaking beauty and unique geography of this ancient city. With its northward orientation towards the upper left corner, this image highlights Lhasa's elevated position as one of the highest cities in the world at an impressive elevation of 3650 meters. Nestled within the majestic Himalaya mountain range on the Tibetan Plateau, Lhasa is surrounded by contrasting landscapes that are vividly depicted in this image. The vibrant red hues represent lush vegetation-covered land, while brown tones symbolize barren areas devoid of plant life. Shimmering silver and white surfaces indicate man-made structures such as the iconic Potala Palace and Norbulingka. Notably featured near these architectural wonders is the dark red expanse known as Lhalu Wetland Nature Reserve, adding to Lhasa's natural allure. This remarkable photograph spans approximately 30 kilometers across and was captured on November 24th, 2005 by NASAs Terra satellite using its Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER). The fusion of rugged mountains, high-altitude terrain, and fertile valleys showcased in this image encapsulates both the raw beauty and human settlement that define Lhasa's landscape. It serves as a testament to Tibet's rich cultural heritage intertwined with its awe-inspiring natural surroundings—a true visual masterpiece capturing an extraordinary moment from space.
