It gets hot in the jungles of Myanmar. By the middle of the day, the last thing you want to do is be anywhere outside. Walking through a village around this time, you might think that it's been deserted, but everyone is there, just taking a siesta. In the villages we visited in Rakhine state, on the way to Chin state, there were even a few small huts with ceilings too low to stand under, but built in a very similar fashion to the typical houses. These huts seemed to be specifically designed for relaxing and keeping cool, and inside of them were many people laying down and watching the world go by from their relatively cool lounging areas.
The launch last night, just after the SRB separation.
Growing up with these shuttle launches regularly, I got pretty tired of all the TV news anchors saying after each successful shuttle launch 'Oh it was a gorgeous launch today!' It could have been the blandest, most humdrum looking launch on a clear-blue-sky day and they'd be calling it a gorgeous launch.
Last night however, as the orbiter climbed higher and higher, reaching its escape velocity, it reached above the level where the horizon shrouded the already-set sun, and immediately its contrail burst into a wild flame of oranges and pinks and reds, delivering us an extended sunset - showing us what people hundreds of miles away were seeing as their day came to a close.
And that's what really made this launch special. I have to mark this down as perhaps one of the most, if not the most beautiful launch I've ever seen go up.

Rome, Italy (April, 2016)
While traveling the backroads of rural Illinois on an idealic summer day I spotted these gorgeous red shrub roses, long since escaped from the farm and growing along the roadside.
testing out my new wide angle lens...

Made this photo last year..... Hadn't done anything with it altough I loved this one. Problem was the old farmhouse in the background.
