Seeing the Unseen - Earth from Space.

By  Jo Briscoe 2021

Inspired by BBC programme “Earth from Space” showing satellite photographs, in amazing detail, of earth. What struck me was how the satellite view differed from the view with the naked eye; the sense of scale and of things previously unseen. I focused on the Sandaban Delta in the Bay of Bengal with its intricate network of meandering tidal channels which change colour with the ebb and flow of the tide.
