The large lake in the photograph would be the Aral Sea, in Central Asia.
Wikipedia has a good article about the lake, and its rapid disappearance.

This picture was taken over Russia or Kazakhstan.

Here comes lunch!

Good question! My first quess was Southern Calif.? Kind of looks like a dry lake bed somewhere? or a Ground fog?

Second guess is somewhere's over Asia. Russian ground controllers like to have the ISS overhead during their part of the docking sequence?
