STS127 lift off

Space shuttle Endeavour
The solid booster rockets separating from shuttle (click on image)

Space shuttle Endeavour finally took flight. After several days of delays, mostly weather related she took off. I went down to the Dania Beach pier in hope of getting a couple photos of the shuttle. A gentleman was on his phone and said to me 'it has taken off'. Probably a minute later we saw the shuttle cutting the blue with it's white plume.
A really cool sight!!!
I didn't think I would be able to get an image of the boosters leaving the shuttle at that distance. Kennedy Space Center is about 180 miles from the pier.
