August 29, 2013 - Fireworks



Image Caption: On July 4, 2012, tens of thousands of people descended onto the National Mall to watch fireworks at the nation’s Capitol. This composite image was taken from the Pentagon, which was more distant and less crowded. The seventeen minute show provided opportunities for many great shots.

Both the fireworks and satellites have something in common. They are part of the story of rockets. Discover the connection: Origins of the Rocket

Good catch! I didn't even think of that even though I lived under a sun like that when Big Sur had a huge fire. It was really eerie seeing that huge red sun in the sky.

Spuck, I have to admit I've seen that sort of sky a couple of times and it gave me a woodie too.
