It's easy to get a little jaded with the world around you when you feel like you're looking at the same things all the time.
Your morning commute. Your neighborhood. The view from your windows. Seeing the same thing day in and day out has its charms, but maybe you're feeling the need for something new…
Sometimes you don't have to go far and wide to see things in a new way. Sometimes you just have to change your angle to see some unexpected beauty you were missing from your usual point of view.
That's what Daily Overview would like to show people. Using satellite imagery of from all around the planet (literally), they're showing us that from above, our world is a curious, beautiful place, and that we don't need to witness a strange phenomenon to be reminded of that.
Check out what the satellites have picked up of our world, and see if you recognize any of these places!

The images show cities, farms, and natural features all over the world, highlighting the colorful and geometric forms that we never see from the ground.
It also shows off some unusual features on our planet, like this bright magenta lagoon in Texas, which gets its color from algae.
It's pretty amazing that even hundreds of years ago, well before satellites, people were able to create these incredibly precise forms.
It's also captured some incredible natural phenomena, all from a perspective most humans would never see.
You'll suddenly have a much greater respect for city planners.
And you'll be amazed that humans have always been really good planners!
The images also make you realize how small everything really is. Even huge cities seem tiny!
And vast farms turn into beautiful abstract patterns.
You can also see the way human technology has evolved over the years, from ancient stone cities and temples to cutting-edge technology.
And sometimes, you'd never guess how gorgeous things could be from above.
You can learn a surprising amount about the world just by checking out this Instagram account, too.
And while the information given is pretty objective and straightforward, you can't help but start thinking about the implications of human activity in the world.
