Fourth of July in the City

by Editor on July 5, 2010

Go ahead and call me a country girl.  I’m okay with that.  I tend to get edgy in crowds over several hundred people and I am not a fan of driving in heavy traffic.  I don’t understand how people can survive the daily commute and still remain sane.

So spending the fourth of July in the outskirts of San Antonio, observing hordes of people larger than lived in the whole of Bozeman parking in shopping centers to watch fireworks, I was slightly befuddled.  Many of the shots I had originally planned for the day simply didn’t pan out.  Time to get creative.

Several of the traditional fireworks shots made me yawn, but ducking behind this little country hill, some power lines and a lesser-trafficked country road added enough visual interest to draw the viewer into the photograph.  The lights of San Antonio lit up the skyline, offering up a purplish-pink light.

Shots aren’t working out?  Time to get creative.
