Break out of your established patterns

Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way.

Hi my friends,

Thanks again for all the kind comments - they are much appreciated.

The launch of the Space Shuttle is postponed - again - for next Monday. They have a leak in the fuel tank and have to fix it first. Well, then NO pictures today from the last launch of the shuttle :((

I hope you'll enjoy this post. I like the quote!

Have a fantastic day - it's T.G.I.F. again...!!

Hi my friends,

thank you so much for all those many comments I got from you to my post from yesterday. I'm happy you all liked my humbled posting :))

People who know me by now, they know my style in photography, they know my love to details and close ups and my love for light and shadow in shapes and patterns - like in this post above.

The launch of the Shuttle is postponed to tomorrow afternoon. It seems they have some technical issues and also the stormy weather today is not that good here on Florida's East Coast. 

We are waiting then for tomorrows launch and I hope, it will finally happen. 

Since 4 days we are now waiting for good pictures. It's the last flight of this Shuttle series!

Read more about the Shuttle Launch or probably NO launch here!

Have a wonderful day!

Her last flight to Space

The Atlantis Shuttle launch

The mission had no problems with the weather. The launch was initiated yesterday around Kennedy Space Center at 2:28 PM. The countdown contained no serious technical issues.

Atlantis 

will blast into the stratosphere to deliver big spare parts and a load of supplies to the International Space Station

Can you see that little white dot? That's the Shuttle Atlantis only some minutes after the launch!

Atlantis is scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station in approximately two days after launch.

Some impressions captured of all that smog and exhaust - a dramatic picture, 

but, is this environmental friendly????

A close up of all that smog...

It was hard to get a parking spot anywhere closer, there were people, people - everywhere! 

But I liked the industrial background to this event in high technology.

American Space Science and the American Flag - how more patriotic can I be?

Hi my friends,

So much to the launch of the Space Shuttle yesterday. It was her last flight up there. There will be more launches this year but with another ship and for other purposes. I have enjoyed this maybe 10 minutes of  excitement and of capturing these impressive moments. 

The search for a parking was more than an hour. But in the end it was worth it!

Thank you for all your wonderful comments to my post yesterday.

Stay tuned, come back tomorrow to my Sunday Wordless Special.

ENJOY!

Have a nice day!

The Grand Tetons in Wyoming

The Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming

Hi my friends,

The photo of "The Grand Tetons" was made on my recent travel "Across America". I'm still reviewing my many hundreds of photos from my 8 month long travel and I love to remember all the pretty places I have seen during that time. And these majestic mountains are one of those places!

Today at 2.28 p.m. was the launch of the Space Shuttle at Cape Canaveral. David and I went down to the beach to see it from there. Tomorrow, I'll show you some of the pictures I took. Stay with me, come back again tomorrow - here, on the same spot, at the same time...LOL...

Thank you also for all the comments to my photo without words from yesterday, I very much appreciate your words.
Susanne
