Earth from space
Some great photographs of Earth from space: http://home.att.net/~hideaway_fun/442/planet.htm
On the one showing the the red sea, look at the line of green flowing up through Egypt and fanning out. It's the route of the Nile, with all the fertile land that borders it. Then, look at the second night-time photo, and you can see the Nile again, this time because of the lights along it. The rest of Egypt is fairly dark, but the Nile is a solid bright line.
