It's been a day stuck indoors putting together some photobooks, so nothing too creative today! Still, the pictures of Apollo certainly seem popular so here's one more...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The sun comes up behind what remains of the gantry on Launch Pad 34 on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
