Lab one introduces the basic concepts and processes of remote sensing and gives a better understanding of multiband images, color compositing, and contrast enhancement. The following were the objectives for the lab to help introduce these concepts and processes:

Everything I tried to identify in our book with the maps that we have there, and I choose the answer more close to the map drawing.

We touched down in Aden this morning and I have found it so far to be a bustling coastal city which has more similarities to home then I thought it would be. The things I’ve seen through the media paint the middle east as a worn torn area full of only crumbling buildings and dry farmland. Flying above this city I honestly thought I could be somewhere along the Californian coast or somewhere like that. I’m sure that there are areas like (that which I will see when I am out in the field), and that they make up a majority of the country but it reminded me of how much of what we see and hear about the Arab world is negative and we are rarely subject to the beauty and the other positives contained in this part of the world. I start at the hospital tomorrow and am out in the field next week so I am sure I will have more to say about this so far beautiful country

The foreground is dominated by a colourful arrangement of plants and flowers, which roots go into the ground. The middle ground is a dark earthy brown colour and has to other figures in it they both seem to be of a young age, one resembles an ape like figure the other is a young white girl. Behind her is the skull of a human, and a pile of rocks which are not placed in any particular formation. On the horizon there is a traditional Mexican pyramid this towers over the horizon and takes up the majority of the background. In the sky there is two clouds in the white cloud there is a red sun, the darker cloud has a moon which has lightning coming off it. This once again represents that Mexico is a very natural place to live.

A desert peninsula in 6th century was the cross roads of the world, the bridge between Europe, Asia and Africa. Arabia was a vacant wasteland of desert, rarely seeing any life besides that of the trade caravans. City states dominated the political life and the only form of centralized government was in chaos. This was Arabia in the 6th century, this even though Christian was to become the staging ground for the growth of the 2nd largest religion that exists today. This is where the "Prophet" Muhammad was born in the city of Mecca.

Djibouti has a vast desert wasteland. Close to the narrow coastal plain, the land rises closer to the north with a small series of mountains. Central and south Djibouti is covered by a stony desert and scattered plateaus made out volcanic lava, crisscrossed by deep, timeworn troughs, some also have shallow salt water lakes.

The topographic landscape was imaginatively adapted by Altdorfer from a map of the lands around the Mediterranean and stretches as far as the Nile Valley (Phaidon 409). Behind the huge armies are the mountains of Asia Minor in the front of the Mediterranean Sea and Cyprus (www.wikipedia.org). In the background are Palestine, Sinai, the Red Sea, and Africa with the meandering Nile River heading for the Nile Delta in front of the gently bent horizon and the dramatic setting sun (www.wikipedia.org). In the heavens, the sun and the moon cast their light over the scene (Phaidon 409). While the all encompassing landscape may allude to the scale of Alexander’s victory, the diminutive figures lost in the immensity of nature also seem to point to

From the image of the magazine cover, a man dressed in the Middle-East attire can be seen standing on what looks like a balcony with the landscape of the Middle-East in the background. The image in the background presented the Middle East as underdeveloped in an effective manner. The image in the foreground by the top right corner signified the Middle East as an oil-hoarding society aside from being religious fanatics, violent and underdeveloped just as the total image had labelled the Middle East.

     In the heart of the Middle East is a country known by many Westerners for its oil production and, often, extremist beliefs of groups within the country. The country is Saudi Arabia, and though it is thought of by many as a rather backward country, Saudi Arabia has a rich history and culture, and it is a country that revolves around Islam and the worship of Allah as the one true God.
