The Algiers Casbah is a UNESCO World heritage site that includes the Sidi Ramdane mosque and former fortress, 10 centuries old.

A Ukrainian girl plays with balloons with the colours of her country's flag aboard the Corsica Linea ferry “Mediterranee” in Marseille, southern France, on April 26, 2022. Anna and her children enjoy the sun on the deck of a ferry moored in Marseille: they are not vacationers but Ukrainian refugees who, on this boat, have finally found safety, “like in a village”, with 700 others compatriots. The “Mediterranean” usually serves Algeria, for the Corsica Linea. But it is now docked, at the Joliette ferry terminal in Marseille, with its unusual passengers. (Photo by Nicolas Tucat/AFP Photo)

These stunning photographs may look like alien planets, but they are actually satellite images of planet Earth. Commercial satellite company DigitalGlobe recently released the images as a way of highlighting the incredible detail of their imagery – the highest-resolution commercial satellite imagery in the world. Some of the images – taken above Afghanistan, Algeria, Peru, Russia and the United States – look more like abstract works by Mondrian than segments of the globe. DigitalGlobe, based in Westminster, Colo., launched its first satellite in 1999 and currently has four in operation. Here: Trementina, New Mexico. (Photo by DigitalGlobe/Caters News)
