  Title: STS-57 Endeavour, OV-105, framed by Florida vegetation, lifts off from KSC LC
  Description:
  STS-57 Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105, clears the fixed service 
  structure (FSS) tower and soars into a cloudy morning sky after liftoff
  from  Kennedy Space Center (KSC) Launch Complex (LC) Pad 39B at 9:07:22am
  (Eastern  Daylight Time (EDT)). Exhaust plumes billow from the solid rocket
  boosters  (SRBs) on either side of OV-105's external tank (ET) and cover
  the launch pad  below in a cloud.  The retracted rotating service structure
  (RSS) appears at  the left of the FSS tower.  In the foreground Florida
  vegetation (trees,  bushes) frame the launch scene.
