I was in Alabama over the 4th of July. We got to watch fireworks from a boat, out in the middle of a huge lake alongside hundreds of other boats. It was beautiful.
Patriotic evening on the water.
It’s unusual that I would share with you an imperfect image. But I kind of liked the way this one looked even though it wasn’t crisp. And, it’s the only shot I took of the fireworks, because I realized the boat was rocking too much to ever get a clear shot.
And that’s unusual too…me only taking one shot of anything!
Headed home the water was really rough, making the boat under my feet heave and roll. These are some of the other boats headed home along side of us…the green bow and white stern lights shifting in the waves as we all rocked and rolled.
At least we’re all going in the same direction.
Kind of makes me seasick even now, weeks later.
Having fun with it now.

wow I like that first one-it is so interesting!! The thought of all that rocking did not sound like fun though!

It wasn’t bad until we were all heading home. All those boats, all those wakes…it was a bit scary.

Interesting shots, but I’m glad you took them and not me — I get seasick just thinking about that rocking boat!

It was pretty scary for sure. In the dark with all the boats moving around us. Some of the drivers were a little aggressive given we were in tight together and it was dark and the water was so choppy.

Wonderful (and unusual) play with lights. Light-painting, almost. I really like the first one. It reminds me of our flag. 🙂

I really like the 2nd one. It looks like abstract neon light art.
