EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print showcases the stunning beauty of Spain and Portugal, captured from a true-colour satellite image. The Iberian Peninsula is displayed in all its glory, with the vibrant blue waters contrasting against the lush greenery of dense vegetation. Sparse vegetation appears in warm shades of brown, while bare ground stands out in pristine white. The Pyrenees Mountains majestically dominate the upper right corner, forming a natural border with France that can be distinguished by paler colors. At the lower left corner lies a glimpse of North Africa, separated from Europe by the iconic Strait of Gibraltar. This narrow passage connects two great bodies of water: on the left side is the vast Atlantic Ocean, while on the right side lies the serene Mediterranean Sea. Within this Mediterranean expanse lie three enchanting Spanish Balearic Islands: Ibiza (also known as Iviza), Mallorca (or Majorca), and Menorca (or Minorca). Each island possesses its own unique charm and allure. This remarkable print not only captures Earth's natural wonders but also serves as a testament to our advancements in space exploration and earth science. It invites viewers to appreciate both nature's grandeur and humanity's ability to capture such awe-inspiring images from above.
