My Favorites - Atlantis Shuttle

Living in Florida has given Gary and I the rare opportunity to experience the Space Shuttles up close and personal at the Kennedy Space Center.  This picture was taken of Atlantis during the transportation from the Vertical Assembly Building out to Launch Pad 39A, a 3.4 mile journey that typically takes 6 hours.  This was the last mission of any shuttle into space after 30 years and we had the privilege to witness the transport.  Taking place at night made perfectly beautiful pictures.
