Sometimes I myself cannot recognize on a satellite image what kind of

surface, to make a guess.
Imagery interpretation is artful indeed - it takes practice to train the
eye, but then recognizing features from elusive hints, such as a tall
structure from its shadow, becomes reflex.
This is an area where having travelled in the target area helps a lot -
with nothing but the imagery I can with near-certainty recognize most
Senegalese schools... But I'm entirely lost trying to do the same in
neighbouring Guinea !
I saw recently a film "Nord Nord Mord" [1]. In this film there is an
ultra-modern luxury house which costs twenty million euros (actually
almost the whole film is sort of about it). But the building has got a
traditional thatched roof made from reeds. You can see the house and the
roof already at 1:20 (1 minute 20 seconds) of the video.
I tried to find a similar house on the satellite imagery of Northern
Germany but for some reason I could not find a single one. Perhaps, they
are rare, or blend into vegetation, or do not look like houses from above.
