Independence Day
Invasion of The Thing from Outer Space
This is a fireworks display in Manistique, Michigan on the 3rd of July of 2022. My wife and I were in the U.P. for a little getaway. While there, we took in the fireworks celebration on the eve of Independence Day.
The title might seem a bit “out there” but I look at this photo and just think it looks like some strange creature with tentacles is coming to attack this quiet village.
I find the tone and color combination in this image very appealing. Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

Angel in the Works
Here’s a happy photography accident. To me, it looks like an angel in white showed up to take part in the festivities during the fireworks display above the harbor at Kewaunee, Wisconsin. This image was captured during their July 3rd celebration of Independence Day 2023.
This is not any kind of photo magic. This is the way the separate rocket bursts were recorded. Love the colors.

Big Harry Fireworks Display
This is an unusual fireworks capture from the Fireworks display on July 3rd in Kewaunee, WI. This is one of my favorite perspectives of the Kewaunee show – from the west end of the harbor.
There’s a lot I like about this image. The fireworks burst is has an unusual color and flow. I love the reflections on the harbor. If you look closely, you will see a few tiny white dots. They are stars in the night sky. And, of course, the Tug Ludington all lit up in the foreground. Also note the bluish dot above the water near the middle of the photo. That is the light from the Kewaunee lighthouse.

The Stars In Her Eyes
A Happy Independence Day to you!
This is one of our grandchildren who was examining a small flag of the United States of America. This image was captured last year when we had the opportunity to visit our son and his family in Ohio. We brought flags for each of the youngsters with us. They had a blast running around with them, waving them wildly. I made a mental note to remember this shot when the 4th of July rolled around.

Where There’s Smoke
A lot of smoke from previous bursts added a dramatic effect to the sky for this cluster of fireworks at the annual Independence Day celebration at Kewaunee, WI.
As I mentioned in my previous post, the weather was very pleasant – in fact a perfect night on the lake shore – but there was little air movement. What little air movement there was, moved toward us from the direction we were viewing the fireworks. As a result, the smoke from the fireworks hung in the air and, as you can see here, obstructed our view at times. Still, a great time was had by all.

Color and Chaos
The rockets red glare and the bombs bursting in air gave proof through the night that the spirit of Independence Day was alive and well in Kewaunee, WI. This well attended fireworks show is part of Kewaunee’s annual celebration.
The weather was wonderful for enjoying an evening with friends on the shore of Lake Michigan. For the photographer in me, I could have used a bit more of a breeze at our backs. That would have cleared the smoke away better, giving us an unobstructed view of the color and chaos.

Red Sky at Night
When it comes to fireworks, my favorites are the big ones – the huge bursts of color that fill the sky. This is a big red one from the July 4th celebration at Kewaunee, WI. 2014. A few days ago, I posted another full-sky burst: Burst of Blue. To see even more fireworks shots, click on the “Fireworks” category in the left-hand margin of this page.

Party Like It’s 1776
The sky was a wild and messy at times – all those colors and lines and squiggles. It was an Independence Day celebration over the Kewaunee, WI harbor. July 4th, 2014

Fireworks Veil
A light breeze created a gentle flow to the green, cascading fireworks burst. It reminded me of a veil. This was part of the Independence Day celebration at Kewaunee, July 4th 2013.
