From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Evening light begins to fade at NASA's Ames-Dryden Flight Research Facility (later redesignated Dryden Flight Research Center), Edwards, California, as technicians begin the task of mounting the Space Shuttle Atlantis atop NASA's 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (NASA #911) for the ferry flight back to the Kennedy Space Center, Florida
Reason
High resolution of the Shuttle and the custom 747. Great composition, beautiful colours and a breathtaking sense of scale.
