In the 2nd photo, I reckon that is New Zealand below. If not, then some other part of the world looks identical.
The top "piece of land" looks like the bottom half of the Nth Island, the bottom looks identical to the top half of the South Island....can even pick were I use to live.
Cheers

Those guys and gals spend five to ten years training and waiting for a spacewalk.
The second thing on their mind when they finally go out the hatch has to be "Yup, it was worth every second"
The first thought has to be between them and their God.

I'm thinking we make some pretty cool stuff. We even let the Canucks play a little just to help the Continent out. And then we take pics of other areas, so they don't feel left out . . .

Thanks for lettin' us "play" in your little part of the Universe. We feel somewhat validated now...
Spar Aerospace (Canada) has sold the rights to the CANADARM (what you were lookin' at) to U.S. interests. I guess they (NASA) like the way we play! More probable is, they couldn't come up with a better mouse-trap.
As for the pics, they didn't have their wide-angle lens on to capture the expanse of our Country... you may not have recognized it anyway...
