Last nights 4th of July Celebration at Wallowa Lake, OR. One of the best shows I've seen in years.  

We started getting our spaces and setting up 2.5 hours before the show started at 10pm PST Golden hours across Wallowa Lake hillside.

 Some people even brought their own fireworks to start early and compete with the professionals. This was about 8:25pm.  1.5 hours before the actual show started.

Beautiful evening. No wind, 68° and people everywhere. 22 minutes of solid fireworks with one of the best finales I've seen in years. Will post some more tonight or tomorrow morning.

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th. Have a productive week and don't forget the camera.
