4th of July in NYC

Happy Birthday America!

The gf and I went down to pier 84 last night and took in one of the greatest celebrations in the world: The Macy's 4th of July fireworks display on the Hudson river.

Before dark the tugs brought out four barges packed full of fireworks:

From our perspective, with the fantail of the USS Intrepid in the foreground:

Here's an interesting shot of the tug with FDNY fireboat in the background:

Another shot of NY's bravest hidden behind a shroud of mist from the most powerful master-streams in the world:

..and as dusk arrived, the bridge of the Intrepid proudly lit with red white and blue

Finally, what everyone came for, the most fantastic fireworks display I have ever seen:

Thanks everyone, L and I had a terrific time. It was just a perfect night in NYC

I wonder which watch you wore to watch the fireworks? Milgauss?

Sorry coolfire, no magnetism nearby last night; however, with the US Navy so close by, I thought a Comex no-date was more in order
