Very nice Dave!
While the California portion is quite distinct, the entire image kind of reminds me of a superman with the head on the top, a wily profile smile on the face, the cape on the back, as if he just blasted-off from his Thanksgiving day feast! (Off to his black Friday deals!)...

Thanks! I'm getting to appreciate how Big these objects are since I do mostly visual. Only the "bright" regions show up, even with Night Vision. Tom
