Week Six: Fireworks

I took this picture on the Fourth of July. Usually, pictures of fireworks all look the same to me, but this one is kind of cool because you can see the light shooting out of the can and shedding a reddish light on the asphalt. You can also see the mini explosions (the brightest sections), and how the embers bounce off of the street. I love the red, yellow, and orange colors in this photo, and the way you can see the smoke. This picture reminds me of what a fun time I had on that day and a feeling of general celebration. We lit these fireworks right outside of my boyfriend's sister's house, and it was almost pitch black outside. The nearest street light was down the road, so the colors and light from the fireworks really stood out.
