Happy 4th of July America !!!!

Drove down to St Louis downtown Wednesday evening to photograph the fireworks show, since hardly anyone else was having one, due to the drought. I parked on Market Street just east of Union Station and walked down to almost City Hall and set up my tripod between two parked cars. View from there was good, could get the Federal Building which is normally lit up, the Arch and the Old Courthouse under the shadow of the Arch. Yes there were a few buildings on the sides, but one on the left side was quite reflective as well. Only problem I had was the streetlights I had to photo shop out….
