This picture was taken in Ponte Vedra from the top of the 210 bridge crossing the intracoastal looking south towards St, Augustine and  Cape Canaveral . 

A friend got up very early and took this picture of the last nighttime space shuttle launch and was kind enough to share with his co-workers and whomever else would appreciate the beauty of the space launch.

He took the picture using a tri-pod and the elapsed time for the picture was several minutes in order to get the full fire-trail (this is why the stars are little lines instead of dots).
