I got a couple sweet shots on the way home last night. I really had to resize and compress these to get under 100k. Chris, e-mail me if you want hi-res.

Wow. That second one would make a great desktop wallpaper if it were higher res. Nice pics!

I agree, the second one would be wicked on my desktop.

Heck, just mail away John. It's all good!

Ah well, I'm at work now. The hi-res pics are at home. I'll send #2 to Chris and hopefully he can host it where you guys can pull it down in it's full glory.

Set phasers to "cool"! Hi res version thanks to John.

That really is quite a surreal photo. Something about the juxtaposition between orbiter and grass, men in suits with dangling cables against nature's majestic sky.

Well done with this one, John!

That image says a 1000 words.

Fantastic! Thanks for the high-rez version.

If that had been Discovery's last flight before retirement, no image would have conveyed it better than this one.
