in the  foreground. Other features on the Earth which are visible include
Tampa Bay  and several lakes, including Apopka, Tohopekaliga, East

This is a north-easterly  looking view toward California's Pacific Coast.
The coastal area covered  includes San Diego northward to Pismo Beach. Los
Angeles is near center. The  arc of the Temblor-Tehachapi-Sierra Nevada
