Nice shots, HM. I've been in the DC area for 16 years, but have never made it down to the Mall for fireworks. Used to watch them from across the Potomac at the Iwo Jima memorial for a few years, but even that has become too much of a hassle. I don't care for crowds much. We went over to a friends house, and all our kids ran around catching fireflys as the dad launched illegal fireworks.

We used to be able to see the very tops of the fireworks at the Mall from our front porch, but they built a new building in Arlington that blocks our view now. Now we just see a glow in the sky and hear the distant booms.

Did you get caught up in the post-fireworks practice evacuation the cops were doing?
