Atlantis is being rolled back from the runway to the Orbital Processing facility for is post-flight processing. This image was taken about five and a half hours after touchdown as it approached the area around the OPF and VAB, fresh from its 13 day mission to the ISS. This image was cropped from a 300mm shot taken at 1/500 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400 while riding the tour bus heading out to the LC-39 gantry viewing site.
A frequent photoblog with select favorites of my photographs. Subjects are typically nature, landscape, astrophotos, existing light.

Awesome shot. So sad though - Atlantis's last stroll.
Not quite Atlantis' last stroll - they'll have to roll it over to the KSC visitors center when they finish building its new home there.
Great shot. Mine had a lot of reflections from the glass in the bus.
