Description: “An unusually cloud-free France shows green and tan in this true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image acquired August 14, 2002, by the Terra satellite. The great city of Paris is visible in the upper center of the image as a gray smudge against the landscape, and is even clearer in the higher resolutions of this image.
To the north, clouds mostly obscure the English Channel, but the Bay of Biscay to the west is clear, as is the Mediterranean Sea to the south. The northernmost portion of Spain is clearly visible at the bottom of the image, and is separated from France by the Pyrenees Mountain Range.”

They must have been lucky to find a day where the only clouds are on Monaco!
Saw the clouds, mistook them by ice, and instantly thought: Oh sh*t… Ice Age France?
