November 14, 2008. The last suttle lift off of 2008 occurred around 8pm. I realize my photography is not that great, but hey, it's from my backyard. The best part was standing out there in the dark just prior to lift off and then seeing the sky above the trees begin to light up with this huge golden glow. Next thing you know, the shuttle(it looks like a ball of fire)is flying through the sky and making it's turn. Many of my neighbors were outside with us. (Unfortunately, Phil was in West Virginia at the UCF/Marshall game.)

Just above the trees.


Making it's turn.
Very impressive - nice shots!
