Observation

What the pass recorded.

Paris in false colour, the band assignment that returns living vegetation as red: the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes read as two dark lobes on either side of the city. The Seine crosses from southeast to northwest and the Périphérique closes a hard ring around the dense grey core.
