  Title: English Channel
  Description:
  The cloud covered earthscape of Northern Europe demonstrates the difficulty 
  of photographing this elusive subject from space.  The English Channel 
  (51.0N, 1.5E) separating the British Islands from Europe is in the center
  of  the scene.  The white cliffs of Dover on the SE coast of the UK, the
  Thames  River estuary and a partial view of the city of London can be seen
  on the  north side of the Channel while the Normandy coast of France is to
  the south.
