A bird's eye view

Happy wedding day! A truly wonderful occasion as I watched on CNN over breakfast here in Florida. Even the majesty of a Space Shuttle launch won’t be able to match this for a once in a lifetime event!

It’s an overcast morning with a few spots of rain as I arrived at KSC about 8.30 am. They are predicting the weather fronts will clear in time for this afternoon’s launch.

Already the roads down to the coast were nose to tail with traffic streaming in to get a viewing point. Many have been camping out overnight to get prime spots.

Here are a few photos taken as I arrived to show you the scene so far. The osprey family really have a bird's eye view of everything going on but I think they would prefer to be left in peace!
