The images in this series work to highlight the change in building and urban land cover. The images show how over the past 40 years we have seen a massive increase in land cover, in areas where the urban environment already existed. Not only are we expanding into new areas, ones already considered part of the Washington D.C. metro are being expanded upon. This image includes an overlay that allows the viewing of more information beyond the base image. It also makes the information more easily accessible to the audience. They dont need to be trained in remote sensing and viewing information from overhead imagery to know what is happening in these photos.
