geographical wizards, can you come to my aid?

I took some pictures from the plane on the way home last week (So. Cali. to east coast).

If I post some of the photos, can you tell me where I was? :dunce:

13. Just making a guess based on the cloud color, amount of coverage,

and the road systems, which are rather human in style.

It's definitely a planet that has life, a noticable atmosphere, a mostly stable geography (note the obvious age of the mountains in the picture), and is obviously pretty close to its sun (unless you had a hell of a flash, which I assume you don't) so that cuts out most planets, and leaves me to think it must be Earth.
