Cape Canaveral Beach Sunrise and Lighthouse
A beautiful sunrise at a beach located on the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
As the sun rose I hurried back towards the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse to catch a glimpse of the sun and sky surrounding the Lighthouse. As I was driving back to the Lighthouse, Launch Complex 22 (LC-322) was in the foreground with the Lighthouse in the back.
The sun was reflecting off the Launch Complex and gave the Lighthouse a beautiful glow.
Launch Complex 22 was used for horizontal launches in the late 1950’s up until 1960. The Launch Complex is still standing today and I will have a future post with additional photos included.

About the Author and Photographer: Alden Pitard has over 40 years experience working in the Aerospace Industry at Cape Canaveral, The Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and Boeing locations throughout the country. He has supported the Space Shuttle Program, International Space Station, 787 Dreamliner and most recently the Artemis Program. During his time at "The Cape" he photographed a majority of the Launch Sites at KSC and Cape Canaveral. As the Space Shuttle program was coming to a close in 2011, the author decided to bike to all the Launch Complexes he could and capture the Space Center and Cape Canaveral as it was - thus "Biking through Space Ruins".
