Beautiful !! I only hope the station doesn't get hit by some of the 3500 extra pieces of space junk in the stratosphere thanks to China's extremely irresponsible missile (military force) attack on it's so called defunct satellite. A 1 cm speck of paint traveling at some 17000 mph can do some serious damage to a light weight space vehicle.

looks like a thunderstorm is moving in.

Those are cool pics. One night about two weeks ago it was really clear here in IN and you could clearly see the space station and the shuttle go over a few days before the shuttle landed. There is a web site you can go to that tracks its location and they tell you when you can see it. This is the second time I have gotten a good clear view of it. It only takes about three minutes to come up, cross the sky, and go outta sight. It is amazing to watch that web site and try to fathom how fast that stuff is going. 17K plus miles per hour it doesn't take long to go around the world.

amazing pics Dave! Thank you so very much for sharing them with all of us.. :D
