The colors of autumn across the western border of North Macedonia and Greece are captured in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image from Oct. 27, 2024.
From the Baba Mountains and the Pelister National Park in North Macedonia to the Verno/Vitsi mountains in northern Greece, the predominant tree species are the European beech at higher altitudes and oak at mid and lower altitudes. The result of this combination is the stunning mix of brown, red and green hues typical of the autumn season. The intensity of colors varies with altitude.
The densely packed rectangles of urban areas and cultivated land stand out in sharp contrast on the eastern side of the mountains.
