Well, who of us has not seen photographs of the earth's surface taken from a satellite? These pictures are attractive in themselves, and if you add a little more color to them, you can get real masterpieces.
Earth as Art is a project conceived and implemented by the US Geological Survey. Satellite images taken in various places on the planet have been artificially colored in vivid colors for an even more impressive and spectacular effect. According to the organizers, this time their primary goal was not scientific research and the provision of accurate data, but the desire to give viewers an aesthetic pleasure.
