Wow I love them, especially the first shot. It's like it's out of some scifi movie:applause::applause:. They would be even more striking without the frames.

Nice P.

Thanks for sharing.

Thats something else I'll have to do one day while I'm down here.

Dramatic pics!
I'm about halfway through reading Riding Rockets by Mike Mullane, an ex-F-4 backseater who was on Discovery's maiden flight STS-41D.
Great read, and brilliant insight into the Shuttle astronaut corps.

Wow, Cool pictures,

I can't get cool pictures like that. My camera is not cooperating. I don't know how to tame it! :icon_lol:

I saved all of them, Thanks for sharing Panther!
