Fun Landscapes


I purchased a Landsat 5 TM scene for the Columbia Complex a few days ago. I typically spend a little time looking at the image before I do any modeling on it. I am constantly intrigued by the landscape in SE Washington and NE Oregon. This picture is an example. You can easily pick out the irrigated farms (bright green circles in upper left), while most the rest of the image represents dry farming, mostly wheat. It's a pretty cool landscape to drive through. I love the visible terrain in this image, plus the patchiness and different colors.

This is incredible! It looks just like a patchwork quilt. It's lovely.
