The landmarks of transportation we can see from space are primarily our hubs and intersections — the places where we momentarily come together before we head off in our separate directions. Here’s a selection of complex highway interchanges, taken from my first book “Overview: A New Perspective of Earth.”

📍TURBINE INTERCHANGE — Jacksonville, Florida

📍 WHIRLPOOL INTERCHANGE — Dubai, UAE

📍 SPAGHETTI JUNCTION — Madrid, Spain

📍 STACKED INTERCHANGE — Los Angeles, California

Monterrey is one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in Mexico, with more than 5.3 million residents. Its population has more than doubled in the last 40 years, causing the city to sprawl alongside and outward from the rugged, folding mountain ranges of adjacent Cumbres de Monterrey National Park. The final graphic is a Timelapse showing Monterrey’s growth since the 1980s.

Every spring, billions of tulips bloom in the Netherlands, blanketing tens of thousands of acres in color. The Dutch produce more than 4 billion tulip bulbs each year, most of which are grown for sale as cut flowers. This video shows blooms around Noordwijkerhout — about 25 kilometers (16 mi) west of Amsterdam — each spring from 2016 to 2024.
