One of Boston's most famous and popular events is the annual Fourth of July concert and fireworks display, which features a live performance by the Boston Pops and appearances by various special guests.
Lu Lei and myself did not make it to the Esplanade next to Charles river to watch the live performance but we did not want to miss the magnificent fireworks display. We had to park our car in one of the nearby neighbourhoods and walked the rest of the way to the edge of Charles River by way of Boston College. A huge crowd had already gathered when we arrived just about 10 mins before showtime. We had a hard time trying to find an unobstructed view up front. We finally found a small corner and had barely gotten into a squatting position scrambling with our cameras before the lights began. Here are some pictures that Lu Lei managed to snap and a couple of videos courtesy of me. I apologise for the moments of unsteadiness especially in the 2nd video, the position we were crouched in was highly uncomfortable and I had held out as long as I could before adjusting to allow blood flow to my feet.

Hi, your blogs are very interesting. A picture paints a thousand words. All very well taken. I feel like touring America when I read.
Hey...Karyn is "here" too!!! We brought Isaac to Kallang (thought it was a good place) to catch Singapore's National Day fireworks....*sigh* disappointment, only a few sparks! Maybe it was blocked by all the apartments and maybe it was the WRONG location to be at. *sigh*
hey you 2! yah the fireworks here on 4th July was quite smthg. But cannot beat the ones in Beijing Olympics. That would have been magnificent! If captured on video would have been quite a show. :)
