Shuttle Launch

One of my brothers forwarded this photo to me. It was taken from the CR 210 bridge over the intracoastal waterway in Ponte Vedra, Florida (over 100 miles from the launch site). This was the last scheduled night-time launch of the space shuttle, February 8 of this year. The photographer used a tripod, and the exposure took several minutes in order to capture the full fire trail (that is why the stars appear as lines rather than dots).
