#### Description

NLS Orthophotos are an aerial photo dataset covering the whole of Finland.
This data is provided by SMK([The Energy Agency](https://energiavirasto.fi/etusivu),
formerly abbreviated SMK). An orthophoto is a combination of several
individual aerial photos. The aerial photo data set in orthophoto format is
available as the most recent data set consisting of the most recent aerial
photos available. The most recent data is usually 1-3 years old. NLS
Orthophotos are updated every 3 years (in Northern Lapland 12 years).

(In Dataset id, V stands for "väri", which means "color" as opposed to
"false color")
