To be precise, it's Lake Carnegie in Australia. But full credit if you even guessed that it was a satellite image of the earth, since it looks equally like a photomicrograph or a work of abstract art.
This is one of a collection of images described as follows:
"The images you see below were taken at the turn of the Millennium, when NASA’s scientists had a brilliant idea: to scan through 400,000 images taken by the Landsat 7 satellite and display only the most the most beautiful. A handful of the best were painstakingly chosen and then displayed at the Library of Congress in 2000."
Here's the link (there are three pages of pictures):

Enjoy exploring.
I could tell it was a lake, but the guessing part was spoiled as soon as I enlarged it since the name was in the browser tab AND the mouseover. =(
ReplyDeleteFixed. Thanks for the headsup, Ayshela. I need to pay more attention to this on future puzzle entries.
