A little inspiration from space...
Distance...perspective...and a little digital color enhancement make for some inspiring images from the outer atmosphere.
By selecting certain features and coloring them from a digital palate, the U.S. Geological Survey has created a series of "Earth as Art" perspectives that demonstrate an artistic resonance in satellite land imagery and provide a special avenue of insight about the geography of each scene..
The Landsat series of Earth Observation satellites has become a vital reference worldwide for understanding scientific issues related to land use and natural resources. Beyond the scientific information they supply, some Landsat images are simply striking to look at, presenting spectacular views of mountains, valleys, and islands as well as forests, grasslands, and agricultural patterns.
