Description
View from space of the Calabria region of southern Italy (the toe of the "boot") outlined by the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas to the southeast and northwest respectively, which present a mirror-like appearance due to the sun glinting off the water surface. The extreme oblique angle highlights two distinct cloud types patchy, highly textured cumulus clouds at lower altitudes, and gray altostratus clouds, stretched out by prevailing winds, at higher altitudes.
