Washington DC, Independence Day 2006

Here are some highlights from this year's presentation. There was some rain and a bit of thunder earlier in the day, but happily the show wasn't canceled.

Follow the White Rabbit

This year the cops in DC seemed to have a bit of control of the pedestrian traffic, as they did last year, but it was still a bit of a madhouse.

The effect is due to the "Nighttime" setting on my camera. The focused stuff is where the flash reached, and everywhere else is long exposure. The jiggling of my hand just happened to make a somewhat rabbit-shaped pattern.

Are you sure you weren't watching some bunny's tail? :lol:
Good job, man.

These two pictures were a thousand miles apart. It seems it was a problem in a lot of places this Summer. :eek3:

Heh, I like the swing one.

And the lightning - OK nature, you win on size, but let's see some color!

Not so happy 4th around here.

The "raw footage" of the explosion at the Upper Merion Township fireworks display is actually less than spectacular. It was at first believed that an illegal firework was set off by one of the folks there, but later reports indicated that it was a commercial firework that failed to explode in the air, but went off when it came down into the crowd.

Great Pictures RK:)

thanks for sharing

Ouch, Wolf.

Reminds me of how in beijing, they would do the chinese new year fireworks like, right there, not 20 yards from the spectators, and sometimes the cheap local fireworks wouldnt go up like they were supposed to. One year one hit a guard in the chest, another year a firework shot under a car and went off.
