fireworks

as it turns out, fireworks shows are quite common in long island. the terryville volunteer fire department recently had their annual festival/carnival and fireworks show. after watching the village fireworks on the 4th from the relative safety of our porch... i watched these through the screen in one of the roomie's rooms [yeeea.] while trying to comfort the terrified frank. we were close enough to this display that i could feel the boom and the echo, smell the sulfur, and vaguely hear the "oohs" and "ahhs".

also as it turns out.. even with a long exposure it is hard to hold a camera steady and get a clear shot through a window screen. who wouldathunk...
