==================================================
This false-colour image from Japan's ALOS satellite was acquired over part of southern Kenya and the border with Tanzania.
Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania can be seen in the lower-left corner. At 5895 m above sea level, this dormant volcano is Africa's highest mountain.
Kilimanjaro is a critical water catchment area for both Kenya and Tanzania, but over the past century more than 80% of its ice cover - which acts as a water storage - has disappeared. The receding ice cap together with deforestation have caused several rivers to dry up, affecting forests and farmland below.
In this image, bright red areas show the rich vegetation of the forested area on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, as well as vegetation of the agricultural areas and along rivers and streams.
False colour allows for better discrimination between different vegetation types. This is particularly helpful when satellite data are used in agricultural monitoring for mapping and classifying land use, crop type, crop health, change detection, irrigated landscape mapping and crop area mapping.
The upper section of the image is dominated by plains in southern Kenya. Nearby are a number of national parks (not shown) that attract tourists looking to see the wildlife. Animals found in this area include elephants, cape buffalo, lion, giraffe, zebra and wildebeest, among many others.
==================================================
We are a very high quality custom printing service and create stunning viewing experiences from our customers’ digital photography and art by printing them on our magnetic float-mounted fotoflōt classic or large format fotoflōt pro panels.
As such we generally do not sell panels with images that we select, but we have a few pieces with curated stunning Space and Earth satellite images.
The fotoflōt pro construction technique has been used in Europe for decades and becomes more popular in photo galleries, museums, and commercial and private decor in the US. It is often referred to as "C-print mounted to plexiglass" and the most expensive large-format photographs have been constructed this way, such as 99 Cent II Diptychon, Chicago Board of Trade, or Shanghai by German photographer Andreas Gursky.
fotoflōt pro panels start as traditional silver-halide photo prints that are permanently "sandwiched" between a layer of clear acrylic glazing in the front and a sheet of stabilizer in the back. Panels need no frame or mat so that the image goes all the way to the (invisible) edge.
This fotoflōt pro panel comes with a "float mount box" attached to the back for a dramatic wall mounted floating display and has been constructed as follows:
* An extremely high resolution image has been printed on the glossy version of Fuji Crystal Archive Professional C Type photo paper. The silver-halide continuous tone photo print was made on a 50in wide Durst Lambda printer.
* Fuji Crystal Archive Professional C type paper is one of the most resilient and fade-resistant photo papers available. It has been tested by Wilhelm Imaging Research, the industry’s “gold standard” for testing of photo paper durability. Their tests show that it can be exposed to normal interior lighting and indirect sunlight for decades without perceptible fading from either light or air pollution. The panels shouldn't be displayed where they will receive direct sunlight for extended periods of time, as no display method can prevent fading under those conditions.
* The print was permanently "sandwiched" between a layer of clear acrylic glazing and a sheet of white 3mm Dibond as a stabilizer in the back.
* We have selected the compound aluminum Dibond backing for its superior dimensional stability across a wide temperature range.
