 Yes, another photo of Endeavour over Los Angeles. What a site. The crowds at Griffith Observatory were more than I expected, fortunately, I rode my motorcycle around the traffic. This is Endeavor heading south over Western Ave. as it banks for another pass over downtown. The tall buildings across the middle run along Wilshire Blvd. This photo I liked for the snapshot in time with the sprawling, dense city paused as the magnificent icon of American engineering and prestige cuts through the frame. I was fortunate to see Endeavour launch one of her last mission in Florida, STS-130, which was a spectacular night launch. Hands down the most incredible thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

This was probably my favorite. I gave you an 8, would love to see it large.

Excellent. Is that a plane? I only wish it were closer or more easily discernible.

Nice view!! Too bad we had such a smoggy day for the flyover. I like how it looks as though it's heading straight down the road.
