There are marked reflections of the sunin the Atlantic and the lakes within the wetlandsof central Florida. The sun-glint is crossed bythe shadow of an east-west band of clouds and italso highlights regions of shears in the surfacewaters off the east coast (presumed to be relatedto the Gulf Stream). The view looks to the eastand goes as far north as Georgia/South Carolina atthe upper left. The Great Bahama Bank is visibleas a light blue patch, indicating the shallowerwater, on the far right, just off the tip of theFlorida peninsula.
