Your welcome, glad the storm didn't reek to much havoc on you folks this time although I did see you got lots of rain. Hope you had a good 4th despite the rain.

Gotta be mighty proud of Nashville! Learned yesterday blue is the toughest color to create and the holy grail of fireworks. Nashville conquered that too. What a show! What great photos!

Folks, got to photograph Nashville's fireworks from the 6th floor of the Baptist Hospital Parking Garage which is about 2-3 miles away last night. Shot on my old Sony H9 point and shoot which is about 8 years old and still clicking. My wife and I attended this event with about 40 other photographers from the Nashville Photography Club.

Excerpt from the "Tennessean" newspaper:
Nashville, TN, Music City's July 4th "Let Freedom Sing", Choreographed to music played by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, ran 27 minutes, making it the longest fireworks display in Nashville's history. Pyro Shows of Tennessee lit up the skies with over 30,000 fireworks and special effects, carefully scripted with the live symphony. The display was fired from LP Field, setting the stage for Nashville's most spectacular fireworks show to-date, and the largest display in the South.

"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.----Abraham Lincoln"

These are spectacular James. Did you get a new camera?

I watched them on TV last night and there seems to be more color in fireworks this year.

Yes Folks around here are very proud. Not only are there fireworks, but lots of live music prior to the show. They anchor a big barge alongside riverfront park where 3-4 upcoming artists play throughout the day. Thank you Kindly for your complement.

Thanks Margo...we usually watch the fireworks on TV too, but decided to try this out. It was nice, traffic was very light in and out from the region where the parking garage is located. My guess is there where about 300 others viewing from the garage. No new camera, decided to dust off the H9. It was my main camera of choice for years.

Spectacular shots, Jimmy! I wonder what the display looked like from within the revolving restaurant? Too bad you were stuck having to use a Sony camera, huh?
