Fireworks!


We left our family party in Connecticut late in the afternoon yesterday, and drove back home.  We were really lucky because it was the middle day of a three day holiday, and there was no traffic at all.  We set a record time for the trip!  We rested for an hour and then headed over to the Gordon's for dinner with them and some other friends, and then sat on their balcony overlooking Hempstead Harbor.  Once again, the fireworks never failed to make the evening special!  What made this picture special was that the fireworks started while there was still light in the sky, and the blue sky and clouds added to the photograph.

Very nice image. I agree that the blue sky adds to the impact of the image. Most fireworks begin when it's pitch-black, so this is definitely nice.

Spectacular shot with Lots of color from the sky, water and, of course, the fireworks. The remaining light in the sky at dusk absolutely adds to the effect!

Great photo! It is so clear and the lighting, especially on the water is awesome. I love the lights in the house and the smaller fireworks going on in the distance. Amazing! Trace
