Going Out With A Bang
Fireworks cap off Canada Day over Ottawa and Gatineau, and my preferred spot for seeing them is Major's Hill Park. I got in a lot of photographs and two videos this year. You can view those here and here.
The appeal of fireworks is something that has always escaped me and I wonder how much it interrupts the activities of nocturnal creatures. Probably scares the living daylights out of them too.
Good show. I saw the same patterns from my driveway. We have an excellent view for the fireworks on July 4th from our park. Love to watch them. Twitter was messed up when I tried to Tweet.
Fantastic Display Of Color - Well Done
