burn
Launch +7 seconds (approx). The shockwave
came soon hereafter. Wow. There should be more
camera shake in these shots than there is.
Atlantis was just about to start rolling, but
here it’s still in profile so you can see the
main engine exhaust to the right of the
boosters’. The tower bathed in flame gives
some sense of scale. That’s just a massive
burn going down.

It’s quite random how I came across this picture, but that doesn’t really matter to most people. I randomly happened to be reading the Flickr blog and this was featured in one of the entries. So I had to photo blog it. Just totally cool.

Today was fairly productive at work, but I’m totally mind-wasted when I get home after VBS. I really like doing it, but it makes for terribly long days (and I’m glad when it’s over). This year is no exception.

Anyway, as part of our VBS business today, we were able to go out and tour the local airport. I’d driven by there plenty of times, but never actually been on the grounds or looked around. We got to check out an airplane (small Cessna operated by the local flying club) and also the office area, etc. Very cool.

I managed to pick another full plastic grocery bag of asparagus again tonight when we got home. I’m going to wrap up this entry here (seeing as how I’m pretty tired anyway) and go wash that up along with the full bag I picked a few days ago. Then I can at least distribute some and make a bit more room in the fridge.

So anyway, that’s all I’ve really got to say tonight. I’m tired and it’s time for bed anyway. So until next time…
