The folks over at Unearthed Outdoors True Marble Imagery have released some stunning satellite imagery into ‘creative commons’ domain.
The images are extreme high quality and have an amazing amount of detail of pretty much anywhere on the earth.
I saw an opportunity to combine some of the highest quality images and make my own satellite image of just Great Britain. The results are fantastic. It makes an excellent desktop wallpaper, especially if you have a huge screen.
In the spirit of the creative commons, I’m releasing the wallpapers on this site. Attribution must be given to Unearthed Outdoors True Marble Imagery for their fantastic work and extreme generosity.
It took several hours to process these raw images into something useful for regular wallpaper purposes. So, if you appreciate the stunning wallpapers, feel free to support our advertisers. I have a feeling these wallpapers are going to eat a lot of bandwidth.

Also, check out this close-up of the city of London. It gives you an idea of how massive London is. Incredible!

Anglotopia was founded by Jonathan and Jackie Thomas for people who love Britain - whether it's British TV, Culture, History or Travel - we cover it all. Anglotopia was started to get us back to the UK for a trip and it did that in 2009. Now, the goal is for Anglotopia to make our dream of living in the UK a reality.
Thanks for editing these Jonathan, needed a shot of the UK for a video and these have proved very useful. Cheers.
