Beautiful Image of French Nuclear Test Codename "Canopus"

From the ORIGINAL SOURCE -

This shot was taken in 1968 by the French army in the Fangataufa atoll. Codenamed Canopus, it yielded 2600 kt. Although this picture, like many of the series, is a work of the French Army (as far as I know) this is an original scan from a hard copy I possess, and processed to remove dust and scratches. A strange view on such paradise-like landscape.
