Awaiting Final Launch

I was fortunate enough to obtain press credentials for not only the final launch of space shuttle Atlantis, but also the final launch of any shuttle vehicle.

 

This photo was taken the night before the final launch. Members of the press were escorted out to the launchpad and were given only 15 minutes to take photos.

 

Since it had rained the entire day, there were some puddles scattered around and after seeing my friend, Trey Ratcliff, take a shot using one of the reflections, I copied him and captured my own.
