explosions in the sky

If you click on the above photograph, it magically becomes a movie. It may take a few minutes to load. Patience is a virtue. This is my first attempt at multimedia on my site. I mean, media other than photography. You should be able to play this in Windows Media Player, but since I'm a Mac person, it's in AVI format and Quicktime will probably treat it more fairly. If you're on a PC, you can download Quicktime for free here.

These are the Fourth of July fireworks as seen from my upper deck. Please excuse the tiki torch silhouette in the foreground. They shoot the fireworks off of a barge across from our houseboat, so we get a 360 degree experience that includes the smell of smoke, the feeling of vibrations echoing up through the water, and the occasional dusting of ash. Or so legend has it.

It was quite a display this year. Wish you were here.
