An explosives truck at a construction site in Greenville, SC By Denton Harryman on 2/18/2011 After taking this photo on Friday I questioned my sanity. In my defense I was outside the caution area ... The explosive truck, in this photo, is part of a project to upgrade Greenville sewer and stormwater system.
U.S. Cellular Field on the SW corner of 35th and Wentworth
*Originally called Comiskey Park (though NOT THE original Comiskey Park) from 1991-2003, then U.S. Cellular Field from 2004-2016, before being renamed again as Guaranteed Rate Field in 2017.
Explosives were used to clear bluffs and widen the road - this cave remains, but is now used as a shelter from the rain.

More rooftop fireworks from early November 2015. Some of these fireworks were huge and went on for ages I really enjoyed watching the show.
The Northern Skies of Northern Wisconsin exploded with amazing and spectacular colors. One of the best displays I've ever seen. A solar wind stream produced these stunning skies during the late hours of September 1 2016 into the early hours of September 2 2016. Crivitz, Wisconsin. The Milky Way also was very bright and visible..
