Shanghai and the Yangtze

Shanghai and the Yangtze river estuary, satellite image. North is at top. Shanghai, visible as a purple-grey conurbation towards bottom left, is one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of around 20 million. The Yangtze river drains much of China, carrying sediment and silt (brown) over 6000 kilometres from the remote, westerly, highland regions of China until it reaches the East China Sea, just above Shanghai

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This satellite image showcases the dynamic landscape of Shanghai and the Yangtze river estuary. With its vibrant hues and intricate details, this print offers a mesmerizing view from above. The sprawling metropolis of Shanghai dominates the bottom left corner, appearing as a blend of purple and grey. As one of the largest cities in the world, it is home to approximately 20 million people. The mighty Yangtze river takes center stage in this image, winding its way through China's vast territory. Carrying sediment and silt over an astonishing distance of 6000 kilometers, it originates from remote highland regions in the west before finally reaching the East China Sea just north of Shanghai. The contrasting colors tell a story about nature's force at work - brown hues symbolize the immense amount of sediment being transported by this majestic river. Alongside its path lie scattered islands that add to the overall beauty and complexity captured by this photograph. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot taken from space, we are reminded not only of China's geographical diversity but also its rich history and cultural significance. This print serves as a testament to mankind's ability to thrive amidst such awe-inspiring natural wonders while simultaneously showcasing our impact on Earth’s landscapes.
