Space - Aerial Perspective

This picture of a canyon is a good example of aerial perspective. We can see with this example how the detail of the canyon walls and such are very distinct in the foreground with rich colors of earthy reds and browns, but as the image fades into the background the details of the crevices and the walls fade out of focus and seem to just become shades of darker greys and blues. As you can see on the horizon, there is no distinct detail seen only the darker outlines of the peaks and the walls.
