STS062-102-194 Panama City, Florida, U.S.A. March 1994
Highly reflective Panama City (near center) is connected to the coastal peninsula both east and west of dark Saint Andrew Bay (East Bay and West Bay), which is southwest of the city and has a channel connecting with the Gulf of Mexico. Discernible are broad, sandy beaches; highly reflective Tyndall Air Force Base east of the bay; and the northern end of Saint Joseph Bay sand spit (upper left corner). Several landscapes are apparent--darker, undisturbed vegetation; lighter cultivated field patterns and areas that are being developed; and swampy areas along the coast.
