Fire Walking

Explosive
Tue Jul 05 2011

The Prof and I went to see local small town fireworks for the fourth. It's been years (and years and years) since I went to a fireworks show. I was prepared for something somewhat less than optimal, but I ended up really impressed by the show. There were a few fireworks I'd never seen before, including some that exploded into heart shaped blossoms, and others that blew up into nuke-the-death-star rings. I took my little digital camera with me because it had a fireworks setting and I was curious how it would work. The take-home lesson was that I need a tripod to get pictures that don't have hand-held-squiggle effects, but it was still fun to try.

    Lovely! Thanks for sharing. The little town I grew up in just south of here had a truly amazing fireworks display every year. They went all out. We went last year for the first time in an eon and they'd collaborated with a local radio station to provide orchestra music in time with the display.

    RYC: Trust me when I say I'd have been much happier having lunch with you no matter the circumstances. I'd hug you but you'd probably sick a cat on me......

    BassPlayer and I usually are able to see the distant city fireworks from our balcony, but this year we were watching something on TV and missed it. So now you've given me my firework fix. Thanks! :)
