river burst

© Steve Kelley 2008

New York City fireworks on the East River looking towards the Williamsburg Bridge, Brooklyn, and lower Manhattan. You can see both the East River fireworks and the South Street Seaport fireworks in this image. It was a beautiful Fourth of July show even with the rain. This was shot from Long Island City.

Great stuff, I like how you've pretty much filled the frame with fireworks. My vantage point ended up being not as good...

Totally out of sight my man. Big smile here at this wonderful capture. :-)

Once I saw the rain wasn't letting up mid afternoon, I decided not to bother. Oh well.
