This picture is gorgeous. No cloud cover, a perfectly clear picture. From ground level it's hard to appreciate just how much green we still have! Towns and cities just disappear into it, barely visible if at all.

I suppose the area around London does look kinda brownish and yellowish, doesn't it?

Or when you don't examine it too closely.

I'm sure there's some green between the empty crisp and fag packets. And the discarded underwear and random tissues and crushed lager cans.

To be fair, my local area is not very pretty.

Cornwall has hardly any shallows near the coastline!

The Severn and Thames do silt up their estuaries, don't they?
