This is a satellite image of the province of Zeeland. It comes from several cloudless satellite images pasted together. Taken by the Sentinal satellite. A European satellite, from the ESA that provides this as open data. The image has been re-projected and modified in photoshop so that it looks even better on the wall.
Zeeland is a province in the south-west of the Netherlands. It consists of a number of islands and peninsulas, including Schouwen-Duiveland, Noord-Beveland, Zuid-Beveland, Tholen and Walcheren, and is surrounded by the North Sea and the Oosterschelde. The province is known for its beautiful coastline, wide sandy beaches, dunes, and many recreational opportunities such as swimming, surfing, sailing and cycling. Such as at Renesse and Zoutelande. Zeeland is also an important agricultural region, especially for potatoes, flower bulbs and vegetables. The capital of Zeeland is Middelburg. Vlissingen and Terneuzen are the largest port cities and they are located on either side of the Westerschelde estuary. After the 1953 flood disaster, the Delta Works were built, which are clearly visible in the satellite photo. Besides Zeeland, part of South Holland is also shown, particularly Goeree-Overflakkee
