As I saw it from last night's Virgin Atlantic flight from Havana (Cuba) to Gatwick.

Cracking shot! Did you actually see the Shuttle going up, or just the smoke trail?

That's a one in a million holiday snap.
Well done Mark.

Thanks all, yes I had a great holiday in Cuba.

Rick, much to my regret I didn't have a window seat so I didn't actually see it go up - I just had to take my turn looking through one of the emergency exit windows afterwards.  But just the seeing the smoke trail in the sunset was still pretty cool.

Fantastic holiday snap Mark, you've got to send that in and get it published...

The Thing

Right place, right time. Great shot. I love the sunset going up into blackness.

Fay

Mark, you've done it again!!! Fantastic
