Fireworks from a local neighborhood pyrotechnics...July 4 2020

In lieu of actual fireworks this year - a memory from last year.

Have been hearing booms for nearly a month so enjoy the light without the noise.

Two-hundred and forty-four years ago today the greatest nation on Earth was born. Celebrate her birthday with pride!

Marty Gilbert: "A countdown... wait, a countdown to what David?"

David Levinson: "It's... like in chess: First... you strategically position your pieces and... when the timing is right... you strike. They're... using this signal to syncronize their efforts and in 5 hours the countdown will be... over."

Marty Gilbert: "And then what?"

David Levinson: "Checkmate."

Wishing all from the USofA a HAPPY, SAFE and a BLESSED Independence Day.

Father of all nations and ages,

we recall the day when our country

claimed its place among the family of nations;

for what has been achieved we give you thanks,

for the work that still remains we ask your help,

and as you have called us from many peoples

to be one nation,

grant that, under your providence,

our country may share your blessings

with all the peoples of the earth.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

Best if viewed large. Although our fireworks show only lasted about twenty minutes there were some beauties in there!

Independence Day, Poland

This firework-creation reminded me of a cross between sea urchin and a sea anemone :). Again, it was the result of purposefully adjusting the manual focus during a long exposure of the explosion. Fun stuff!
