Description
Another brilliant display of lights in the sky ... fireworks over Rhode River, just off the Chesapeake Bay, on a dark summer night at Rhode River, Edgewater, Maryland, were for many years the highlight of the summer season. First held as a Fourth of July Celebration, they later became a staple of end of summer festivities around Labor Day. Floated out on a giant barge just as the sun began to set, the horns on the boats which had collected to watch the show began to hoot, the people on the shores packed up their picnics and grabbed their blankets and beer and iced tea and bug spray and settled in for a night to remember.
My eternal thanks to those who worked so hard to put this amazing display on for all of us to enjoy. Thanks, Sonny. You'll never be forgotten.
This image is a companion piece to another of my images, here … look for "Celebrate."

Being an animal lover, I wish they could make quiet fireworks.... LF
Lois Bryan replied:
I agree, Al … these were way out in the middle of a river, at least … so not quite as scary as the ones they shoot off in my neighborhood!!
