Every July 3rd there is a fireworks display at Lake of the Woods to the east of Ashland. This photograph is from a couple of years ago. I have very fond memories of this evening.

A photograph from last year’s fireworks display… Not bad considering I didn’t have a tripod.

At long last I will finish this series with a bang. I took this one on the Fourth. However, if you want to see fireworks in Southern Oregon on the day before the Fourth you can at Lake of the Woods. Those are even better thanks to the reflection.

I always assumed that on fancy firework displays a button was pushed and everything went off like a computer program. It appears that each one is being lit individually. Thanks for these “behind the scenes” shots Amanda.

I’ll complete the Independence Day series tomorrow with a shot taken at the same time as the above from a mile away.
