File:Chateaubriant, France.jpg
Summary
Vestiges of Medieval <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bretagne_-_Breizh" title="Bretagne - Breizh">Brittany</a> mingle with signs of modern <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Civilization" title="Category:Civilization">civilization</a> in this simulated natural colour <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Satellite&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Satellite (page does not exist)">satellite</a> image of Châteaubriant, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/France" title="France">France</a>. The small city is <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Silver" title="Silver">silver</a>, coloured by <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Light" title="Light">light</a> bouncing off the reflective surfaces of modern times. The surrounding country is an irregular patchwork of small fields, reflecting land use in the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a>. The image does not show what you would see if you were in an <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Aircraft" title="Category:Aircraft">air-plane</a> over the city like a natural colour satellite image would, but rather, it shows the region in a combination of visible and <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Infrared" title="Category:Infrared">infra-red</a> light. <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Plants" class="mw-redirect" title="Plants">Plant</a>-covered land is still <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Green" title="Green">green</a> and <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Water" title="Water">water</a> is dark <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Blue" title="Blue">blue</a>, so this particular combination is called simulated natural colour. By late November, <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Crops" title="Category:Crops">crops</a> had been harvested and many of the fields were bare. The exposed <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Soil" title="Category:Soil">soil</a> ranges from pale tan to <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Brown" title="Category:Brown">brown</a> in the image. Other fields (possibly <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pasture" title="Category:Pasture">pastures</a>) remained green, even late in the year. Patches of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Forest" title="Forest">forest</a> on the right and lower edges of the image are brown and dark green.
