That's Round Island in the foreground. Dollar Island is the little island behind Round. In the way-back, that's the left edge of Five-Mile Island that aligns with the left edge of Dollar Island. If I use my trusty Bizer map and draw a straight line from the left edge of Five-Mile through the left-edge of Dollar, it appears that the photo was taken from Belknap Mountain.

I walked up the trail to Belknap Mountain in June. It's a pretty view. Unfortunately, a panorama camera view isn't too good. Too much of the lake is blocked by radio towers and Gunstock Mountain.

---Addendum---

After reading Rob's post (the next post), I think he is correct about the location from which the photograph was taken. The straight line from Five-Mile Island past Dollar Island passes over Locke's Hill and runs darn close to the tower about a mile SE of Locke's Hill.
