I took photos of the crowd that gathered downtown last night to watch both fireworks shows (Ames Park at 10 pm; Sechler/Sechlar at 10:15 pm). The Ames Park display, while smaller and shorter, was amazing because it was sooooooo close—heart-pounding explosions right over your head.
See the album of 8 photos, the large slideshow, or this small slideshow:

Way cool, Griff! Thanks much, Norman!
We loved being able to watch the fireworks from alongside the Cannon — catching the reflection of the fireworks made the display all the more majestic. Thanks, Norman!! And thanks to everyone else who contributed to the Sechler Park launch, which was also fantastic.
Thanks, Norman, for makind this wonderful downtown event. happen Thanks, Griff for capturing not only the fireworks. but those happy folks on the river who got to watch that beautiful display. Because I was on the road on the 4th, I missed all the hoopla, but loved the vicarious version here on my MacBook in Maine!
Yer welcome! FYI, the video was cited in Bob Collins’ MPR Newscut blog:
