Damaris can you answ

Damaris can you answer a qioutsen for me? Okay, as the commander recently explained, Atlantis is like a rock with small wings and can't make multiple passes around the air field, but why does the shuttle have to be fearful of crashing. I understand that strong winds would be detrimental to landing any aircraft, but can you summarize with us some specific reasons for not landing during bad weather? Why could the shuttle crash? Is it just because lightening might reck havoc with the electrical systems onboard the aircraft, or are the pilot and commander afraid of losing sight of the runway once landing is commenced from space.Which electrical systems are critical to avoiding bad weather.Am I partly right or wrong.

Thank you for your comments, Anne, mary and Beverly - and I apologize for not responding sooner. Anne - in a later image you can see what this area looked like after the flood - it's almost surreal in contrast. Mary, this is in Central PA - quite a ways from the Appalachian Trail where I was Workamping last summer. That's a fascinating tidbit about your friend's Grandmother. One of last summer's images was of a church in Delaware Water Gap, PA, where many trail hikers stop for a shower, a bite to eat and a good night's sleep in their hiker's hostel. Beverly, it was a lovely location. Unfortunately we had to leave after the flood cleanup a few weeks after this taken. Vicki

How very beautiful! I love the young supple tree leaning out over the water and the beautiful reflection of the trees from the left hand side. Is it my imagination or is there a little fog as one drifts on down river. Perhaps the reflection of a cloud and maybe even it is upriver - LOL! Anyway, a beautiful picture!!!

Beautiful shot of beautiful country. Are you near the Appalachian Trail? My friends mother was "Grandma Gatewood", the first woman to walk the entire trail. You really get around to some beautiful territory Vicki! Outer Banks and now this. :)
