Happy Birthday America 2013 !!

This year I opted to stay home and photograph Sullivan`s fireworks display, since we didn`t have one last year and I wondered if it would be twice as many shells to shoot. As it was, they didn`t add to it this year, just held on to the same products in last year`s show. If I had an extra day off over the holiday, I would have likely gone to St Louis and photographed the VP Fair Fireworks as well. I decided to photograph from the hilltop of the old Holiday Inn Parking Lot this year, and avoid the exit from the fairgrounds after the show…
