On Oct. 28, 2003, Space Imaging's IKONOS satellite shot this 4-meter resolution false-color "overview" of the San Bernardino County area (approximately 80 miles east of Los Angeles), including Lake Arrowhead and Devore Heights close to the intersection of I-15 and I-215. Taken in the near-infrared light spectrum, the bright red areas actually show green or living vegetation. The blackened or charred areas in the middle of the image show areas that were burned by the recent Southern California wildfires.
