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

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.
