where in the world was ISS?
My current desktop background is a large, beautiful photo of the ISS soaring over the Earth, taken by the crew of Discovery. I love the photo, but one aspect of it bugs me: where is it? There are definitely enough landmarks to figure that out (a river, a bay, an atoll off the coast), but the lack of any scale or orientation has made it a real toughie.
Does anyone have an idea where it is? Backing up your claim with a Google Maps URL would be ideal.

Unfortunately, that doesn't look quite right. The river on the left is a bit different, and most of the coastline on the right doesn't match.
I'm not sure this is a challenge anyone will win...

My cousin Carl votes for here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=45.030833,13.090210&spn=3.509238,5.614014&z=10&t=h&hl=en
but I'm not 100% convinced. Hard to tell with the clouds and all....
