New England synoptic view, with Cape Cod: The hook of Cape Cod lies in the center foreground of this photograph that includes Long Island with a spine of cloud left of center (obscuring New York and neighboring cities), and Lake Champlain in northern New York state (upper right). At the head of Massachusetts Bay, the large bay immediately north (to the right) of Cape Cod, the city of Boston is the largest of several small gray areas near the coast. The light-colored Champlain-Hudson River line cuts across the middle of the view from left to right, dividing the dark fall colors of the forested hills of New England in the foreground from those of the Adirondacks and Catskills in New York state (top right). The Mohawk Gap (top center) joins the Hudson valley just south of Lake Champlain and the curved parallel lines of the Appalachian Mts. appear top left.
