I've seen this booth on previous trips and the photos are wonderful. It seems to me that having photos like this available would makes you proud to live in the city.
Swirling Purple And Green
In my mind, this is pretty much an ideal fireworks shot. It has three distinct layers. The colours in the mid layer are really distinct, the top is kind of quirky and the bottom haven't blown out. You can see people in the shot, but they don't dominate. If I had to complain, it's that the whole shot is too short (doesn't fit the top of the image).
Happy In The Kayak
The Kayak is so much faster than the paddle boat, even the kids could tell the difference. Poor Amenda is in the paddle boat with us petaling back to shore.
