edna, this photo rivals ready for takeoff...the kids & I were perusing your photos and man this one totally grabbed us...the detail you captured on the rocket itself is awesome. Should also be made into a poster.

Teacher,thank you for your comment.I actually thought that one of Reagans speech writers was responsible.The poem, in its entirety, is deep and beautiful and I thank you for sharing it with me Jim.

Un'ottima cattura!
L'effetto complessivo della foto, grazie ad un'azzeccata composizione, č davvero gradevole.
Ciao.

The poem (for those who are not familiar with it)
High Flight
John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds ? and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of ? wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
Magee was killed during WWII... he was 19.
(Dang, there goes the teacher in me again)

As soon as I saw there was a launch on the news I grabbed the camera slapped on the 75-300mm and ran out in the backyard.
