Well actually I am here (its a 1.8Mb jpeg be warned): http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/station/crew-5/hires/iss005e21472.jpg

This is looking down over where I live (not the shuttle you idiots)... see the landmass in the topleft, thats the Southern tip of the North Island. See how the gap in clouds forms an arrowhead with a small island in the center of the arrowhead, zoom in and go up and you can see just above the small island, on the mainland, two shallow water masses, I live on the bit seperating them.

To the right of where I live you can see a large harbour, with a small Island in the center, thats Wellington harbour. On the bottom right edge of the harbour is Wellington city, if you saw my office view pics I placed you can sorta get an idea of where I looked out over the harbour. On the right side, underneath the entrance to the harbour you can see a land mass with what almost looks like a landbridge going to it, thats our airport. You can just make out the runway.

Also note the lovely straight line alone the base of the harbour, yes thats a faultline, yes thats why I crap my pants everytime theres an earthquake and I'm 28 stories up.
