It was to be posted on Friday.

2) Time of image acquired: Daytime on green forest due to identify special spotted target by color or some sources (O2 output or CO2 input) from plants and/or trees on land)
3) Reason of interesting scene: To find new kinds of plants or trees (shown by white spots) through the forest, due to vegetations etc. on complicated crossed surface, which are obtained it as results of random distribution in low sites of river valley sites.

My second guess is a rainforest in Brazil or the forests of Ireland. I don’t know much about satellite imagery so I am not sure how it was photographed, but I promise to look it up after my final projects and finals are done!!

Probably somewhere in the Amazon rain forest. There does not appear to be a large degree of elevation change, probably a tropical plane.
