Nice. What holiday is it in Michigan on July 3?
Lol, people have been shooting off fireworks for about 2 weeks now.... some people think July 4th is like a month or something out here. It usually goes on 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after.
Its the same on Long Island...and I dont know about Michigan, but fireworks are illegal in NY. Unless your name is Grucci.Quote:

It's mind-numbing here in New Jersey. Illegal to buy, okay to shoot off. Luckily I live close to Pennsylvania... :D
opposite here, its legal to buy, illegal to shoot off... That's screwed up!
I've found a few charred-up fireworks that have landed in my yard. Something is going to catch fire sooner or later.
I posted a firework pic earlier, heres another from a completely legal display. Good luck with your outing!

That's a beautiful shot! ^^^^
Here are 2 videos I took from our bedroom window tonight. Though we hadn't thought about it until this afternoon, it turns out we had one heck of a view right from home! Phil took some photos...we'll post them later:
(Pardon my talking and the beeping of the timer on the camera in the video!) :P

Great videos, Mel! I just realized that in the first video after the round of fireworks is done you can see an aircraft right above where the fireworks were, would have been quiet a site!
i wanted to take my camera up onto my roof this year but decided against it since it was still raining when i went up there. i did notice that LDA 22 arrivals into LGA were continuing thoughout the show, weould have been cool to see them from above!!
Nice videos Mel!
I took a few pictures tonight, then my batteries died on me... Stupid me for not recharging!
I saw that too! That definitely would have been amazing :)Quote:

I didn't notice Silvercup Studios at first. Mel was like "Wow, the Silvercup sign is lighting up nice," and I was like "What are you talking about?"
So you keep the video camera in the bedroom. Yea.. OK. Do we need to search YouTube for the "other" videos? :lol:Quote:

For the record...I took those videos on the point and shoot. I kept deleting the final 30 seconds of video I had taken to make room for the finale. It only had a 256M memory card in it!
Just jokin back, Kev. :)
Mel and I did have a good view. She sat at one bedroom window and I sat at the other. Good times. Wish the weather was a little better though.
