This week marked the end of a 9-month hiatus for the Space Shuttle Enterprise. Hurricane Sandy toppled the original housing of the Pavilion in October, 2012. Tuesday afternoon, I was granted admission to the Pavilion to photograph the new exhibits and the Shuttle itself. Wednesday, I returned to capture the Opening Ceremonies. Here are some of the images. (Click on any image for a closer look).
Exhibit cases are located throughout the Pavilion, directly under the Space Shuttle Enterprise which is mounted 10' from the floor.
