Summary
DescriptionAftermath of Griffith Park Fire.jpg
English: This satellite image of Griffith Park was captured about a month after the fire.
Both visible and infra-red wavelengths of light have been used to make this image. Vegetation appears in various shades of green, while the burned areas appear charcoal. The park’s unburned, natural vegetation appears darker green, while the irrigated golf courses adjacent to the park are bright green. Roads and dense urban areas appear grey or white. Water is dark blue.
Large burned areas are evident in the north west and south-east parts of the park, with scattered smaller patches along the southern margin.
Some botanical gardens and parts of a bird sanctuary, as well as some park structures like restrooms, were destroyed.
