November 8, 2009 - Fall colors in the eastern United States. This image shows the Great Lakes on the left side of the image, and Canada is to the north. The U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina run from north to south on the right side of the image. The St. Lawrence Seaway is on the top right of the image. The blue/green coloration in Lake Erie (at left) is likely due to the calcium carbonate (or chalk) in the water. The amount of it changes seasonally, and when there are increased amounts, it colors the water.
