Space Shuttle Atlantis

I took this picture in 2011, the space shuttle Atlantis was take off from the last time. I was living in Orlando Florida at that time and was familiar with the area. I went to Canaveral National Seashore, a natural beach. I walked along the beach until I reached the fences for Kennedy Space Center. I put my camera through the chain link fence and got photo from 5 miles away.

What a fine shot Edward. I love the haze, it adds to the mystery of the event. Amazing how loud it is from 5 miles away too, isn't It? My dad saw that launch too.

I took the photo a week before the launch. I would not have gotten that close on the day of launch.

I've walked along a lot of beaches and never came across anything like that.
Really nice to capture that.

Bill, Canaveral Nation Seashore is natural preserve for wild live. It borders NASA Shuttle facility and the famous launch pad 39A. Unlike beaches in Florida, this is a virgin untouched beach with no houses or hotel anywhere near it. Attached is a picture of pad 39A with the Shuttle carrier in the forground

I stumbled across a website the other day talking about locations to shoot photos of a launch. It mentioned Playalinda Beach, at the south end of Canaveral National Seashore. I'm looking forward to visiting this location...
