Shuttle Endeavour has returned to Earth. While at the ISS it was photgraphed from the departing Soyuz TMA-20 capsule.
I guess if you want pictures of the ISS from space it will have to be this way for awhile, just take a snap from a departing Soyuz capsule.

Photo Gallery: Endeavour docked at space station
It was "the ultimate photo op" as Expedition 27 crew member Paolo Nespoli, inside the departing Soyuz TMA-20 capsule, snapped pictures of the International Space Station with shuttle Endeavour docked at the orbiting complex. Photos: NASA

UNIQUE 'PORTRAIT' OF SHUTTLE AND INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION RELEASED
WASHINGTON -- Newly-released portraits show the International Space Station together with the space shuttle, the vehicle that helped build the complex during the last decade. The pictures are the first taken of a shuttle docked to the station from the perspective of a Russian Soyuz spacecraft.
On May 23, the Soyuz was carrying Russian cosmonaut Dmitry Kondratyev, NASA astronaut Cady Coleman and European Space Agency astronaut Paolo Nespoli back to Earth. Once their vehicle was about 600 feet from the station, Mission Control Moscow, outside the Russian capital, commanded the orbiting laboratory to rotate 130 degrees. This move allowed Nespoli to capture digital photographs and high definition video of shuttle Endeavour docked to the station.
The Soyuz landed in Kazakhstan and was taken to Moscow for routine post-landing analysis. NASA and the Russian space agency, Roscosmos, then processed the imagery as part of the standard disposition of spacecraft cargo.
Additional images and high definition video are being processed and will be posted on NASA's website. To view the still images, visit:

Just one more shuttle launch to go, then stick out your thumb for a lift to the ISS.
Is the meter running? How much is the fare? That much? I thought it was only...
