Discovery Goes to Washington
Uploaded: April 19, 2012 04:00:07
Space shuttle Discovery's final airborne journey; a fly-by over DC before joining the Udvar-Hazy Air & Space Museum at Dulles, VA.
The end of an era for American space exploration; Discovery made 38 missions, spent 365 cumulative days in space, and orbited Earth 5,380 times.
This is a composite of 2 images I shot seconds apart as Discovery, atop a 747 transport, flew down the Potomac River.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
