EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning city of Cape Town, South Africa, as seen from a satellite's perspective. The image captures the city and its surrounding area in western South Africa, with Robben Island visible at the top left corner. As we gaze upon this remarkable view, we notice various distinct features that define the landscape. The dark green patches represent lush forests, while lighter shades of green and brown indicate agricultural fields stretching across the region. Urban areas are depicted in shades of grey, contrasting against the natural beauty that surrounds them. The black expanse represents water bodies such as Table Bay and False Bay along the Atlantic coast. From this vantage point above Earth's atmosphere, we gain a unique understanding of Cape Town's geography. We witness how urbanization has transformed parts of this African metropolis while still preserving pockets of woodlands and farm lands. As our eyes wander across this breathtaking image created using NaturalVue data obtained from Landsat 7 satellite by NASA, we can't help but appreciate the diversity found within Cape Town's boundaries. This photograph serves as a reminder of both humanity's impact on nature and our ability to coexist harmoniously with it.
