Pic Spocket

After my last Triathlon race in Michigan, I had to rush home for the annual Detroit River Fireworks usually happening the last Wednesday of june. They put 3 platforms in the center of the river from which they fire them. I made it home just in time to pack the camera and jump back on the bike and head for the river with Corinne and her mother.

We did not have time to find a good spot to photograph from before the fireworks started. This is also due to the fact that since the city workers are on strike, we could not really use the grassy areas because the grass is too high. As a result, I could not take nice shots with a wide angle showing the surroundings. I made the best of the situation and decided to mostly aim for close ups of the fireworks using the zoom.

Here are a few pictures of the fireworks.

In general we thought the fireworks were smaller and the ‘finale‘ was not as strong as the previous years. This must be linked to the actual financial crisis.
