Night Tree

Hey all, I made it to Columbus for another fun filled week. Hope everyone had a great fourth of July. We just spent some time in the area attending some fireworks on the 3rd and a parade on the 4th. For the past few years we seem to be attending different fireworks in the area rather than just going downtown Grand Rapids for the "big" show. This year we went down to Green Lake to watch the show over the water. It didn't happen quite the way we thought it was going to as the lake shore is all owned by individuals and public access is for the most part, non-existent. So we ended up in a large field with about 150 other people waiting to see what ever we could. There were two tall trees blocking the view but enough space between them so see the show.

The image above is of one of those trees and was taken just prior to the show starting. I boosted the levels a bit for artistic effect but other than that it was a timed exposure. I would tell you how long but I really don't know. Let's see, hmmmmmmmmm, about that long on bulb!

I should have a fireworks montage a little later this week so stay tuned.

That's it for me today. Cya... Doug
