Satellite view of North Western Europe
February 20, 2004 - At the end of February snow is melting in northwestern Europe, hinting at the spring that is coming. Only in Poland, in the lower right corner of the image, and the highlands of Sweden, in the upper right corner, does white snow still dust the ground. Tan sediment colors the coastline of Denmark and Germany in the North Sea. The sediment is tan where it first enters the water in high concentrations, then colors the water green and light blue as it disperses. In the false-color image, water is black and dark blue. Snow is light blue, and clouds are a lighter shade of blue. Vegetation is bright green

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a satellite view of Northwestern Europe, taken on February 20,2004. As winter gradually gives way to spring, the snow is melting across most of the region. However, in Poland and the highlands of Sweden—visible in the lower right and upper right corners respectively—a delicate dusting of white still blankets the ground. The coastline of Denmark and Germany, bordering the North Sea, is adorned with a fascinating tan sediment. This sediment appears tan as it enters the water in concentrated amounts before dispersing into shades of green and light blue. The false-color image reveals water as black or dark blue while snow takes on a light blue hue. Clouds appear lighter shades of blue against this stunning backdrop. Amidst this breathtaking landscape captured from space, vibrant vegetation stands out prominently in bright green tones. This snapshot offers an intriguing glimpse into Northwestern Europe's topography and geography. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper message about our changing climate. With hints at global warming and climate change subtly woven into this imagery, it serves as a reminder that even seemingly remote regions are not immune to environmental transformations. This remarkable photograph by Stocktrek Images invites us to contemplate both the beauty and fragility of our planet from an extraordinary vantage point above Earth's surface.
