Florida (http://www.palmbayweather.com/fl_NASA/R_ev5066_S1999078175850_resize.png) 1024 x 686 (1.2 mb)

If you look real close, you can almost see Beth standing on the sponge docks (http://www.freethought-forum.com/forum/gallery/showimage.php?i=8&c=3&userid=31) in Tarpon Springs.

:cool2:

It looks like the satellite photos of Banda Aceh, Indonesia after the tsunami. Where's all the greenery?

I think I'm embarassed. :blush:

It is a very, very cool pic, though. I'm gonna print it up for my son.

Very cool picture. Does anyone know if these kinds of local satellite pics are color enhanced like outer space pics are?

The Straits of Florida is only 90 miles wide.

I was also amazed by how close Cuba is. I had no idea.

So what are those other two landmasses at 11:00 and 1:00 o'clock? :chin:

Oh, cool.

I didn't realize there were so many islands (http://www.geographia.com/bahamas/map.htm) in the Bahamas.

There's even a number of unihabited islands. Of course having a maximum elevation of 8 feet, no water and scant vegetation do make them kind of unattractive.

Hey add a fishing pole, sleeping bag and high speed Internet connection and that sounds like utopia.
