Launch Complex 34 Sunrise – Biking through Space Ruins
One of my favorite places to visit is Launch Complex 34 – and I will have an extensive write-up with photos in futures posts. As for now, it was a great place to capture a sunrise and also for several years had beach access to Cape and KSC employees to fish and walk the beach.
Below are a couple photos of Launch Complex 34 at sunrise with Launch Complex 37 in the background and a United Launch Alliance Delta Rocket on the Launch Pad.

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".
