A photo I took this morning. Atlas V from Cape Canaveral. When it climbed into the sun it created a spectacular visual effect.
Yes, I took this from my driveway!

great shot. always wanted to come down to watch a launch. Tried twice with the shuttle and missed it both times due to delays and my having to get home.
one day it will happen.
You live pretty close to the Base.

I worked as a Flight Controller at Johnson Space Center in Houston for 30 years all the way through the Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle era's. I got to the Cape one time during one of the Apollo Earth orbit test flights, to monitor some critical telemetry parameters we couldn't see in Houston. Well the booster took off and I never even heard it, much less saw it. I never ever got another chance to get down there during a launch. That's super you're so close. Thanks for the picture.

I grew up close to the Cape and, with a 20-year gap for an army career, been watching rocket launches since 1958.

Very cool Tom! We should have a Kitfox BBQ at your place for a scheduled launch.
