Description: These unique photos offer a view of the Florida peninsula, the western Bahamas, north central Cuba and the deep blue waters of the Gulf Stream that hugs the east coast of Florida (27.0N, 82.0W). In addition to being excellent photographs for showing the geographical relationships between the variety of landforms in these scenes, the typical efect of the land-sea breeze is very much in evidence as few clouds over water, cumulus build up over the landmasses. Image 064 was selected by the crew of STS-46 for release.
