Excellent shot! Were you at the Saturn V viewing site?

Yes, I was at the Banana Creek / Saturn V center.

My uncle (Rick Sturckow) is the commander on STS-117, so that's why i was in the family / VIP area.

edit: let me go upload the full size version of this, the flickr uploadr cut it down on accident.

edit 2: here it is! www.flickr.com/photos/kennymiller/536846317/
