That's insane, Vid - I love it!

The Commander posted another of Newfoundland a few hours ago:



The Avalon Peninsula is closest one, connected by a very narrow isthmus to the rest of the island of Newfoundland. The southern tip of the Avalon Peninsula (which would be the left side of it in this photo) is the southernmost point on the island.

Once you're back on the bulk of the island, you can see the Burin Peninsula to the left of the isthmus, and the Bonavista Peninsula to the right. Just off the "boot" of the Burin Peninsula, you can see the French islands, St-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

At the top is the west coast, including the Port-au-Port Peninsula and the Bay of Islands (on which Corner Brook, our fourth-largest city, is situated). It's a half-day's drive from St. John's, which is located right in the middle of that blurry fog bank on the Avalon.

I love seeing pictures from space. It's so cool! I wonder what difference a good zoom lens would make?
