A couple of months ago, I actually got up early enough to see a Shuttle Launch at sunrise. Didn't think the pictures were real impressive, so kept them to myself. While doing sunsets for Chapter 29, however, I decided they probably are worth showing -- so here they are. These were taken from about 15 miles South of the Cape.
