Rocket Park At Dusk
| The Visitor Complex |
| From left to right: Juno, Mercury-Atlas, Thor-Delta and Mercury-Redstone. |
| The business end of a Saturn 1B. This type of rocket launched the Apollo 7 and the three manned Skylab missions. |
| In this theatre astronauts give talks to the public. It was here that the plenary session of the NASA Space Conference was held on 2010 April 15. |
| No, I didn't patronise this establishment! |
| One of the myriad of attractions. |
| What is claimed as the largest space shop in the world! |

During April the Visitor Complex normally closes at 6 pm, but it being Good Friday the place was open late. So, as dusk fell, I spent half an hour until 8:15 pm photographing the extensive rocket park, which was illuminated with spot and flood lamps. Not many folks get to photograph the park against a post sunset twilight sky.
