  Title: Bahama Islands
  Description:
  This beautiful photograph from space shows the contrast between islands, 
  clouds, shallow water and deep water of the Bahamas (25.0N, 76.5E).  The 
  Bahama Islands of Nassau (the smaller island) and Eleuthera are at the edge 
  of the Bahama Bank where the water is shallow revealing the bottom in pale 
  blue detail contrasted to the dark depths of the Exuma Sound where the
  bottom  is over a thousand feet deep.
