Image Caption: In this view of the Florida peninsula and the Bahamas (28.5N, 80.0W), the Bahamas are easily identified from orbit because of the vivid blue colors of the shallow Bahama Banks and dark blues of the ocean depths. The Florida peninsula is completely silhoutted by cumulus clouds except for the cloud hole over Lake Okeechobee. The rest of the U.S. Gulf Coast and eastern seaboard is completely obscured by the clouds of an approaching winter front.
