Macy's 4th of July Fireworks 2015

It was great to attend the Macy's 4th of July Fireworks this year, now back on the East River. These photographs and videos were taken at Waterside Plaza in Manhattan. The party music which can be heard playing is not the official soundtrack to which the fireworks were synchronized.

Residents attend a party on the plaza. One of the Macy's fireworks barges is nearby on the East River.

People seek out prime viewing spaces as the 4th of July fireworks are about to start.

Today the blog has reached 600,000 page views. My goal is still to reach a million page views by Bloomsday 2016. Would you like to know what's on the old blog? It's all nicely indexed for you.
