The image, taken from space with natural colors, provides a birds-eye view of this historic city located in the Mid Atlantic region. With North at the top, the surrounding states are shaded out to emphasize Washington DC's significance as a distinct entity within the nation. The Anacostia River is prominently displayed in blue, adding an enchanting touch to this already mesmerizing composition. Compiled from data acquired by LANDSAT 5 and 7 satellites in 2000, this snapshot offers a glimpse into our planet's intricate topography and geographical features.
