Well, good morning, Nadya!! Wonderful shot of the space center with overcast skies taken with sharp detail, terrific Florida lighting and wonderful composition!!! #1157107

Nadya Johnson July 21, 2009

Thank you, Melissa! We were "chased inside" shortly after I took this shot because of thunderstorms moving in with severe lightning. I'm sure ,living in Florida, you are more than familiar with that! As for why we are both up at this hour... ? No answer for that one. LOL! #7760702
