Fireworks over Boston's Esplanade. More than half a million people crammed on to the Esplanade and along the Cambridge side of the Charles River to see the spectacle.

p.s. featured as one of 14 firework shots by Boston photogs in a Photo of the Day (PotD) mosaic at Bostonist.com (thanks Bostonist!)
also featured on Universal Hub (thanks @agaffin3!)

Thanks so much everybody for all the kind words, invites, and favorites. It's very much appreciated! This is definitely one of my favorites of all the shots i took of the Boston Esplanade fireworks this year.
Many thanks. And thanks also for pointing out that this made Explore ... or did it? If it did it may have been in and out so quickly that Big Huge Labs didn't pick-it up. In any event, I really appreciate all the favs & attention this shot has received.
Thanks! And yes, I did notice that shot on the Flickr Blog, but I don't know that Boston photog. don't think i've noticed her stuff before, but she has an awesome series from the fireworks.
