Last night I had an excellant view of the West Wendover NV Fourth of July Fireworks. From in front of my RV I was probably less than a half a mile from the launch site. Each air burst filled the sky with color. They didn’t have many of the real fancy shells that you’d see in a big city or theme park show, but they had plenty of good old fashion fireworks. The show started at 10:15 and lasted about 20 minutes.

This blog entry contains some of the better pictures I captured of the fireworks. I really enjoy trying to capture good pictures of fireworks. I’m including eighteen pictures out of about seventy five that I took. My camera has a fireworks setting, but it isn’t very fast. It takes fifteen or twenty seconds to capture and process each picture.

The fireworks started slow.

Start of the final burst of pyrotechnic energy.

Today was another very hot day. Salt Lake City is setting a record high of 105. I haven’t left the campground today. I’ve probably been brainwashed by the TV weather talkers into being afraid of the heat. It isn’t really that bad in small doses.
