SPECTACULAR!

Satellite photo of Europe and Africa at night on a cloudless day.

Lights are already on in Paris, Barcelona but not in London, Lisbon or Madrid, where there is still daylight.

You can see the Azores in the middle of the ocean. A little below Madeira and further Canary Islands and Cape Verde.

You can observe the continent platforms from the British Isles to Canada and Iceland in the middle.
