I am a mission leader for a group called EarthKAM and have been for three years. We're a group that takes pictures of the world based on the ISS's orbit. I'm looking for suggestions for pictures. I'll edit this post with the suggestions posted here. So please post your suggestions and Lat/Long if Possible.

Suggestions for places to take pictures of

The Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Sydney Opera House. Uluru. etc. Just any Australian landmark you can get your hands on.

Thats funny I was actually just looking in Australlia, but there's nothing in Sydney but it is heavy on south east austarallia I can check for some land marks but all I have right now is Little Desert National Park. Do you know of any other landmarks off the top of your head?

Well South East Australia is Melbourne and Sydney. The landmarks there are few and far between, besides the Bridge and the Opera House.

I guess you could try taking a look at the two cities on the Wiki. You could also include Brisbane in that search - those three cities are the major eastern coast population areas.

Try 'Surfers Paradise' in a city known as the 'Gold Coast' - thats a common tourist destination with awesome-o beaches.

I found one of the Golden Coast but it won't be taken till Saturday, I'll put i for it anyways.

The Burj Al Arab in Dubai. The Great Wall of China. Stonehenge in England.

That kind of thing?

Thats fine, perfect actually, but I'll tell you don't get your hopes high on stonehedge, I've been trying for years.

If you can get the State Capitol Building in Charleston, West Virginia, that'd be great - it's a good-looking building, but nobody has a decent overhead view of it.
38 deg 20' 13.41" N, 81deg 36' 42.39" W

(grew up there, so I'm biased)
(not in the building, that'd be silly)

Are you sure those are the right coords? I punched them into Google Maps and theyre in West Virginia but not on a road. I'll try looking anyways though.

It's not a road - that's actually the center of a fountain, in the center of the complex.

If you're looking, try Kanawha Boulevard E at California Street, ZIP code 25305
