Images of Africa From Space, European Space Agency

I recently came across these images on the European Space Agency’s (ESA) website. The agency has a really interesting collection of satellite images of the entire world. Some of which really struck me by how much they looked like abstract paintings. Like you could literally almost “feel” the brushstrokes in the some of the images of Namibia, Botswana and South Africa.
