Scenes from the Downtown Fireworks


Scenes from the Downtown Springfield Fireworks
July 4, 2007

Our thanks to the Springfield Jaycees
and the additional sponsors for hosting this fantastic event.



You can click on an image for a larger view.


The skies were surprisingly clear, the wind calm
and the grounds dry enough for the show to go on.
Considering the storms earlier in the day, this was a delightful surprise.


The telescope in front of the Capitol Building
was getting a lot of use before the fireworks show.


This photo reminds me that season three of the new Doctor Who starts this Friday!


The above photo was taken with a point and shoot digital camera.












Traffic control after the show.
The police did a great job of keeping traffic moving ideally.
