The colors in this infrared aerial photo of Onondaga Lake and the surrounding area drew my attention to this particular map. Most of the maps I have seen of this type use a similar color scheme but there are usually more pinks and reds reflecting the presence of vegetation. This map has a lot more shades of blue because of the water, streets and buildings in the frame. The city of Syracuse, NY partially surrounds this lake and its large population is evident in the abundance of man-made structures. This aerial is part of a website for The Onondaga Lake Partnership promoting a clean lake and fighting the obvious impact of pollution from the surrounding infrastructure and human intrusion.Link to website source:
