Default The Village from 35,283 feet?

I traveled this past week and happen to look at a map of the progress of the flight and noticed we were south east of Knoxville. I took some pictures and think I happen to get Fontana Village and the Lake. We were at 35,283 feet, with a ground speed of just over 500 mph, heading SSE when I took them. What do you think?

Detroit to Fort Lauderdale is also on that flight path.

Your other photo looks like Iberostar Punta Cana. I was there in November.

Your Watkins Glen pics started loading when I clicked the link, I drove that track twice and I absolutely loved it

Erie PA is also directly across the lake from London, ON. (my hometown) , too bad we've never had a real ferry to cross the lake it would be so much better.
