Natural-color image of BrasAilia, Brazil
August 21, 2001 - Natural-color image of Brasilia, Brazil. August falls within Brasilis dry season, with just 1 inch of rain, and the earth tones that dominate the landscape suggest that non-irrigated vegetation may be dormant. Buildings and roads appear off-white, gray, or pale tan. The city sits west of an artificial lake, Lago Paranoa. The branching lake sends its tendrils deep into the city, helping separate the downtown area (image center) from residential areas to the north- and southeast. Northwest of the city lies Brasilia National Park, which preserves a large expanse of cerrado, the tropical savanna ecosystem natural for the area

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning natural-color image captures the vibrant city of Brasília, Brazil, during its dry season in August 2001. The earthy tones dominating the landscape suggest that non-irrigated vegetation may be dormant due to the lack of rainfall, creating a unique visual contrast. The buildings and roads appear off-white, gray, or pale tan against this backdrop. Situated west of an artificial lake called Lago Paranoá, Brasília is divided by the branching tendrils of this beautiful water body. These tendrils help separate the downtown area from residential regions to the north and southeast. The cityscape showcases a harmonious blend of urban development and natural beauty. To the northwest lies Brasília National Park, which serves as a sanctuary for cerrado – a tropical savanna ecosystem native to this region. This vast expanse of preserved land adds to the scenic charm surrounding Brasília. From space, this photograph provides an awe-inspiring perspective on Brazil's capital city with no signs of human presence visible. It highlights not only the physical geography but also showcases topographical features such as rivers and lakes that contribute to its unique character. With its captivating combination of man-made structures and breathtaking natural surroundings, Brasília stands out as one of South America's most remarkable travel destinations. This print by Stocktrek Images beautifully encapsulates all these elements without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
