Find examples of the following features in this LANDSAT TM image of Winnipeg.

Airport: The criss-crossing, linear shapes should make this easily identifiable.

River: Its dark in tone and sinuous in shape. Another easily identified target

Business district: The colouring identifies it as non-vegetated. Note the small areas of shadow.

Rail yards: Very dark-toned, unvegetated, linear in shape but quite wide.

Ponds: Small, rounded shapes. Very dark in tone (so not vegetated).

Residential: An organized pattern of mostly thin, linear shapes close together.

Industrial: A jumble of small rectangular shapes of varying tones, but all un-vegetated.

Rail road corridor: Long, thin, linear shapes which cut through neighbourhoods at odd angles. And they point to railroad yards.

Farm fields: Large rectangular shapes; some of them covered with uniform vegetation.

Park / forest: From the tone and hues, this is obviously vegetated, but the irregular, mottled shapes indicate that it is natural, rather than man-made.

Golf course: The green and yellow tones indicate lush vegetation of some sort. The linear shapes within suggest that its designed by humans rather than by nature.

Tank farm: In a non-vegetated setting, the white dots seem to be arranged in a regular pattern.
