Here, in the U.S., this past weekend we celebrated Independence Day. This year we could gather outside again to ooh and aah at the magnificent fireworks display over the New York City area. There were lots of people, as you can see in the images posted below, hence, I did wear a mask at all times. (to be honest, I still wear a mask when I go out and about, especially when in crowded areas)

Appreciate your kind words! Photographing these kinds of events takes up a good chunk of your day. But it’s worth it. I got there early, to be able to find a good spot from where to photograph. But then the pier got pretty crowded, pretty soon. The weather cooperated, too, which was nice. Many thanks, again!
