Title: Houston, Galveston Bay, Texas, USA

Description:

Long regarded as one of the best photo of Houston, Texas, (29.5N, 95.0W), 
this view from space shows the entire greater Houston/Galveston region in 
remarkable detail and clarity.  The dark north/south line in the water 
between Houston and Galveston is the Houston Ship Channel.  NASA's Johnson 
Space Center and Mission Control is located on the north shore of Clear
Lake  west of the channel.  The extensive road and highway network can be
seen in  great detail.
