Amelia the Pigeon: NYC lithograph

This false color Landsat-7 image of New York City was acquired on July 30, 1999. Using this band combination, the trees and grass appear bright green, developed urban areas appear light purple, land areas with bare soil and little vegetation appear tan, beaches show up as white areas along the coast, and the water appears black. Manhattan is located at the confluence of the Hudson and East Rivers, which flow into the Upper New York Bay. The Verrazano Narrows Bridge can be easily identified crossing from Staten Island to Brooklyn at the mouth of the bay.
