Lighting Up The Night Sky

Canada Day ends with fireworks set off from Nepean Point. The best vantage points are over at the Museum of History in Gatineau and at Major's Hill Park in Ottawa. I chose the latter and took in the fireworks.

  19. @Beth: I have videoed a fireworks display before, on Victoria Day, but I kind of figure it's better to photograph.

    @Sharon: it's a great way to finish the day. I've only seen it once when it was cancelled, and that was because of high winds.

    @RedPat: it is!

    @Red: I got lucky.

    @Jeanie: indeed!

    @Lady Fi: thanks!
