David Contemplating The Launch
The Nexus/Ribbon Up Close.
After the launch you think the show is over. Boy, were we wrong. The sun was just rising and the sky really put on a show. There really is no good way to describe it. Every minute brought a different beautiful site.
The smoke trailing from the shuttle made some wonderful designs in the sky. When the rising sun hit them it was spectacular. We called it the nexus, or ribbon. You know, from Star Trek. Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about. Take a look at the photos and judge for yourself.
What a wonderful and spectacular day.

I’m *SO* glad your pictures came out… I was just flipping through ours and most of them are hosed. I’m a decent photographer when I haven’t been messing with the camera. That was not one of those mornings. :S
So very beautiful! My jaw dropped and I just keep repeating “Wow!”
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs…
