The photo is definitely the top (about 15-20 feet from the top) of the final pitch of Spaceshot, the one that starts from Earth Orbit. Twice I've groveled my way past that section with mixed free and aid. It's tough mentally to get out of the aiders there. Cool pic though.

...and SURPRISE! The bush finally, and suddenly, blows out.
