Just as I was about to post some pictures of fireworks for this years Independence Day celebrations, went down the memory lane thinking what was I doing on July 4th in the years gone by. Except for one year, I clearly remember what I was doing on July 4th evening:

• 2006 – La Jolla Cove, San Diego – Had my Nikon FM 10 without any tripod. Had gone there with Diwaker, Himanshu and others.
• 2007 – Fisherman’s Wharf, San Francisco – Had gone there with Bhavjit. Did not get a good enough spot to take photos. Too crowded.
• 2008 – Valdez, Alaska – Had just completed my bicycle trip, took some photos of the fireworks.
• 2009 – Mountain View – I dont remember going for any fireworks show, not even sure what was I upto.
• 2010 – Harbor Island, San Diego – Had my manfrotto tripod, but Harbour Island was not the ideal spot to take photos of fireworks in the backdrop of downtown. Had gone there with Ankit, Himanshu and Rathina.
• 2011 – Coronado, San Diego – Went there with Ankit. In my opinion this was the best spot for fireworks. I let the photos fill in the rest of the words.

This might also be my last July 4th Fireworks show in America :).
