That's the last of the space pictures, I took a few quick shots of birds outside my hotel a few days later on the same trip.
Lucky Shot!
A gull dive-bombing to catch a fish, at the moment of impact. Took quite a few trys to capture this!
Space Shuttle Atlantis
The retired Space Shuttle Atlantis. 'Murica!
Seaside Bunker
Looking out into the Atlantic, one of the main launch platforms would have been behind me. According to our guide this little bunker was used to house sensitive equipment for detecting electricity in the air, as lightning is a grave threat to launches.

The business end of this rocket looks more like a tangled mess of tubes and wires, but its a very advanced and complicated machine.
Last November, I had the opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, while visiting relatives living in the area.
