Yes, I agree with Bernard: clouds, maybe clay pits, or perhaps one of
the large barren granite areas (which tend to be light-colored and
reflective on air photos). Certainly not a county-wide strip mine.
Best to all for a good 2009!

Dear Roger,
I looked closely at the pic. a couple of hours ago and have been
thinking
on/off since. I agree with you that the former are the clay pits, and
the other
white area (bottom right), in my mind is cloud.
Regards, Bernard
