View from space of the Calabria region of southern Italy (the toe of the "boot") outlined by the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Seas to the southeast and northwest respectively, which present a mirror-like appearance due to the sun glinting off the water surface. The extreme oblique angle highlights two distinct cloud types: patchy, highly textured cumulus clouds at lower altitudes, and gray altostratus clouds, stretched out by prevailing winds, at higher altitudes.
