The 4th from the Other Side of the Mountain


While I never made it to Five Points for the 4th (where the view is reputed to be the best), I still took some pictures of Thunder on the Mountain, Birmingham's classic fireworks display.
These are taken from the view from the other side of the mountain in Homewood, off of Greensprings. The fireworks are not pointed this direction, so the view is not the best.


It was a little eerie to watch as I was so far away. While I saw the explosions and the smoke, I could not hear a thing -- a silent film of fireworks.


These clusters inside clusters are my favorites.



One of the unique "smiley face" design fireworks that seem to defy the laws of physics. I wonder how they did these?
