Cambodia at night
Thought someone might be interested in this aerial photo of SE Asia at night. What strikes me is the absence of light pollution outside the capital. Even Siem Reap and Snooks barely register. Contrast that with HCMC, all of Thailand, and china further north.

I saw that recently, it is quite beautiful. However, it's not an aerial photo, It's CGI. It combines various satellite images and light pollution data etc and "maps" it onto a very exaggerated 3D extrusion. It's great anyway, it makes the whole region look like a GTA map you could drive across in 20 minutes.

Remote sensing in Britain is main done at an altitude where they are able to count sheep,so to stop farmers from claiming more subsidies then they are allowed.Otherwise they just move them around from place to place and claim they have a greater flock...lol
When I was in my wife's province last year I popped outside for a smoke and just happened to glance up. I was gobsmacked at how many stars and milky ways I could see. It was astonishing.
Never ever seen stars so clearly and so many like that in my life!
Even better I had an iPhone app that mapped the stars and names and stuff. The family lived it, even though they didn't totally understand how it worked.

That is a super photo but it is very deceptive scale wise and I cannot really tell what I am looking at. For eg ; what is the very large illuminated area in the middle of the photo to the RHS of the "bay".
Is anyone prepared to tag a few things so we can get orientated ?

Surely the Tonle Sap lake stands out to help orientate?
I'm more disturbed by the curvature towards the top of the picture - it's suggesting the world is round?! LOL!

Sorry but the reason Siem Reap is dark is because there is a power cut every fucking night.
Just bad timing for the photo.

No. It's because the photo was taken before 10 pm and it wasn't dark in Siem Reap yet. Nobody had their lights on. Duh!finy wrote:Sorry but the reason Siem Reap is dark is because there is a power cut every fucking night.
