I just came from APOD. I was going to post the link. You beat me to it Rift. Several of the links on that page take you to some interesting sites. You'll notice on the picture that the LM is the only thing casting a shadow on the valley floor. Pretty neat.

Nice pic! Especially the shadow from the LM.

Here's one of those interesting links. It let's you zoom in on a landing site.
