“GEMINI V EARTH-SKY VIEW --- Florida, looking toward the southeast, as seen from the Gemini V spacecraft during its eight-day mission in space. This photograph was taken with a modified 70mm Hasselblad camera using MS Ektachrome thin base film, ASA 64.”

 

The conspicuously cloud-free area near the center of the photograph is Lake Okeechobee. The similarly cloud-free inlet on the west coast, just inside the left image border is composed of Old Tampa Bay & Tampa Bay, with the major cities of Tampa, St. Petersburg & Clearwater in the immediate vicinity.
