Yeah, on the one hand, when the ISS is directly overhead, it's ~400 km
up, which is kind of surprisingly close. I think of space as "far
away," but the distance is one I could drive in a few hours. On the
other hand, if I imagine photographing something man-made from that
distance, it is kind of surprising that the shape would be
recognizable.

For those who have not seen his work, Thierry Legault is a master of
this kind of photography. His expertise, equipment, and ability to
travel far exceed mine:
