The Tuesday Inspiration Came on Monday

So, this is not the best interpretation of the theme and for those of you that don't know what it is, I'm afraid my contribution is not going to help you work it out. You'll have to peruse the other photos for that, but I caught this shot on the way out to work Monday morning, I love it, and it sort of fits. Or maybe it's the opposite....I'm not sure. ;)

The last night launch of the space shuttle went up at about 6:30 Monday morning. It shook our whole house and woke both of us up since we're so close to the cape. There was something resembling "erffkwakeorwazzashuddlegoinupp?" mumbled and we fell back to sleep for a few minutes. When I left for work at a little before 7, the sky was completely clear except for the remnant cloud trail being lit by the sun just starting to come up. It was still pretty dark out, but this bit looked like it was on fire. I grabbed my point and shoot out of my purse since I didn't want to wake everyone up again going back for the big camera and it performed very admirably catching the light and color. No editing save for a bit of cropping here. Just as it was. :)

What do you all see in the shapes? I keep seeing a Chinese dragon with a long tail curled around...

lisaliu This is beautiful!
It's funny because the sun just set here, and I had intended on grabbing my camera to shoot it, but I was a little too late because I was cooking dinner. When I did make it outside, there were two bright pink lines left of the sunset against the dark sky (but too dark to catch it on my camera) and it was beautiful.

agandia Wonderful shot!!

lgnelson Cool design in the sky. We've been to the cape, but not during a launch. They had a shuttle on the "crawler" but it hadn't started moving to the launch pad. This must be AWESOME to witness in person!
lgnelson · 2010-04-05: 22:27
djnana This is a COOOOOLLLL shot! This gives me a chill and a thrill - I'd love to see the shuttle lift off. Maybe someday...
(I interviewed NASA's Tommy Holloway, the man who was the director of the shuttle program AND the first director of Space Station Alpha! How great is that???)
djnana · 2010-04-05: 22:37
????? Nice capture Kelly. Went to the cape two years ago ... no launches at the time ... didn't even see a shuttle on the crawler.

Mary Stark It's exquisite, Kelly!! I'm afraid I don't see your dragon; but the large mass in the upper left, to me, looks like the "Big Bad Wolf" with "Grandma's" night cap on!! THANK YOU!! Much love, G'ma Mary

redro Ah, I can't believe this is for real ! Fantastic.
Before reading about what you thought it resembles, I've set my mind on a Dragon. With white wings.
