Upside down

The challenge today is Upside down. Had I not had commercial shoots today and been able to cover the tornadoes like my agent wanted me to then I'd have had a shot of an upside down car...but I had no time for news photography on spec today so I set up this photo of my oldest daughter and a book.

in space there is no up or down anyway...

That's how our late 1950's space shots mostly went - right into the ground.

Coincidentally, I think the Atlantis was launched 7 Feb, pointing UP. :-)

I had a similar idea yesterday but it turned out like this instead:

Excellent photo, Harrison. This picture looks like it's straight from the 70s or 80s, and I think it captures a time when Americans were so enthralled in the Space Race. I'm not sure if you meant to capture this, but it is what I see. Fine shot! Big V.

Very good choice for the challenge.
