During our return flight, I was looking forward to flying over the rainforest of the Congo, which is just north of Zambia.  It was cloudy for a while, and by the time I could see greenery, we were already over the Central African Republic (which I surmised after I got home and examined the map details from photos of the in-flight location system.

 

This image is a hybrid before/after of an image from this gallery.  The "Before" image is really what the scene looked like to the eye from the airplane.  The "After" image is more detailed- you can more easily see differences in the terrain, and areas that might be cultivated.  This area turns out toe be mostly scrubland, with forests hugging creeks, rivers, and their tributaries.

 

 

The enhancement was really simple- I simply used a tool called Photo Impact, and then only Version 4.0, which is very much out of date.  However, it was simple to use and I just told it to automatically adjust brightness and contrast, and this was the result.  For some reason, Adobe's Photoshop has never done a good job with automatic brightness and contrast.  Strange that such a good piece of software in nearly every other way is so deficient in such a basic task.
