Description:  Normal aerial photography can make it hard to decipher different colors and shades of the landscape.  Infrared Aerial Photos basically make seeing and deciphering what makes up the landscape easier.  Our eyes can not see infrared.  What we are able to see is what is reflected from the landscape when a infrared aerial photo is taken.  Trees, plants, and beaches reflect light well making it easier for us to see them on maps.  In this picture the infrared photo makes it easier to pick out areas of the landscape such as wooded areas, open space, and areas with sand.
