4th of July Fireworks

This year the fireworks were on the NJ side, so instead of being able to see them from our rooftop (like last year), we were in this crowd.

I'll take the crowd. It's nice to feel a part of the mass, something bigger than yourself, the excitement of chaos. Plus the fireworks always look better up close, with the loud sounds and burning smell. The NY fireworks are supposed to be the largest in the country, and they certainly didn't disappoint. It's hard to capture the magic on camera, specially without tripods and space, but here is the best shot.
