Special Thanks to Charles Sugg who found this site the first year and took some beautiful pictures. He was kind enough to return with me again, why we were the only ones there was baffling. The Charles Sugg location was the best Grucci show I have been witness to I guess because my thing for bridges.

These are just rough-cuts, hopefully I’ll get something special out of the 99 photos I shot………..
You found a great spot!! I was on Browns Island and the treeline was blocking a lot of the display. Next year I’ll definitely scope out a spot closer to the bridge!
Always embrace the foreground, if Charles hadn’t been kind enough to go with me I’d would have probably tried something like this (one of my favorite fireworks shots) : http://otway.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/macys_fireworks_2011_james-devaney-wireimage.jpg
That is stunning!!
