You never want to see a SpaceX Falcon 9 crewed Polaris Dawn Dragon horizontal after a scrubbed attempt but the near head on shot with an 800mm lens is truly an impressive angle to see..
Glad to report the Falcon 9 B-1083-4 is vertical now with SpaceX tweeting they are go for a 3:38 AM EDT Wednesday August 28th 2024 attempt but are keeping their eyes on recovery weather down range.
In the photo you can see a SpaceX employee on a high lift finishing up on the repairs to helium leak umbilical quick disconnect on the ground side which scrubbed the mission last night.
Photo was during a SpaceX approved remote camera reset mid morning just after 11:00 AM from the old crawler way.
