Shuttle launch 6/8/07

On my way over to the east coast on Friday evening I got to stop and watch the shuttle launch. The sides of the road were completely packed with spectators. If you click on the 3rd and 4th pictures you will be able to see more detail. You can actually see the separation of the fuel tanks from the shuttle.


Just about ten seconds after the shuttle launched

All that was left was the smoke
