My first impression was that it was a shuttle simulator, just like the aircraft ones…" http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery/seibert.html Thanks Kostas for viewing the image and sharing your views.......I shot additional "normal" views from the Front....but the scaffolding blocked the nose and the smooth/aircraft look........I deliberately sought out the dark wing angle to frame the image and lead the viewer toward it's name........... Of course it doesn't "distort the shape".........It illustrates the broad bottom of the spacecraft, the combination of materials, the multitude of individual white and black heat tiles, the separate carbon-carbon leading edge............... " .....And what is that magenta hue on the top, middle of the frame?"........ SORRY Kostas.......Just the (color) scan......from a B&W print.......without any gray scale/contrast "corrections"........Doug __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
