We can see that this is a real image
.
It's very useful because we actually get more of a sense of location. For example, if we were looking for somewhere to go camping or to a picnic, we might want to look for trees or a natural environment. This helps us to actually see what is here. For example, we can see the lake, and we can see the trees or other things, and it gives a lot more detail. We can see all of the detail of the locations such as the steps, there's a stadium here, and it's very interesting to see.
