Just like black and white aerial photographs, infrared photographs are taken either from airplanes or satellites above earth. Infrared photography is extremely sensitive to changes in temperature and can be used as thermal imaging. Specific vegetation, water usage, and different kinds of land can be identified using the special infrared lenses. The above picture was taken from a satellite of southern Texas.
