.3/4 view from left front of the LK.  The dimple in the front of the crew cabin is clearly visible, with the round viewport the crewman used for viewing the lunar surface.  Directly above that is the other, upward facing viewport which would have been used during the docking sequence in lunar orbit after the landing.  Also of note is the umbilical connecting the top and bottom stages, seen at right center in the photo as a vertical white tube with several smaller structures sprouting from it at the rear of the vehicle.
Another interesting feature is the egg shaped object with several red and black plugs on it, between the 2 landing legs visible in this photo.  I do not know what this was for - perhaps it was a pressurized compartment for the vehicle's electronics?
A closeup of this view of the bottom stage of the vehicle, featuring better views of the umbilical and the egg shaped thingy can be seen here.
