I love tech, but the ISS is as ugly as it gets.

So who will be first to identify where those two land masses are using satellite maps?

Doesn’t count without a screen shot and/or link.
I did a quick scan of west coasts in the world, and haven’t come up with anything for the second photo...

Well, since the third one is already identified in the description;
"3. NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-129) high above the Mediterranean Sea, near the coast of Algeria, 25 November 2009 ", I'd say the first is somewhere over North Africa--the Sahara.
I gather the pictures where taken from the ISS after Atlantis undocked or right before they docked.

Absolutely beautiful! The remarkable thing about viewing earth from aloft is a sense of serenity. You would never know that mankind was at war below.

The 25 November 2009 photos were taken after NASA’s Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-129) had undocked from the International Space Station.

I can’t quite see my house from here...so I can’t get oriented.

So who will be first to identify where those two land masses are using satellite maps? The bottom one is near the coast of Algeria. That one's a no-brainer.
