Happen to be near Olcott, New York next year about this time of the year? Want to see some really niiiice HUGEEEEE fireworks reflected on water (depending on where you're positioned). Come by Olcott; it's a small lakeside town but ooooh, do they do fireworks well!! Come on by and join the (growing) crowd..... you'll enjoy the show!!! Tonight's show is the BEST I've seen in the three years I started calling western New York (WNY) home. No huge fireworks burst higher than the tower of the San Francisco Bay Bridge at New Year's, but all the same... good enough for me, and it can be just as good for you too!!
You can click on the links below to see some fireworks pictures which will open in a separate window. YES, the smoky golden horizon is the afterglow of a spectacular sunset that dipped below the waters of Lake Ontario just an hour prior! Really!
Enjoy!!
Here's a firework show that's worth traveling for!!!
And here's yet another!!

Fireworks at Niagara Falls
It's been hot here, as it has been everywhere else, so last night we escaped the heat to see the fireworks, in a not-too-secret location we haven't been for some time.....
I made sure to take both of my tripods (I only have three and about the same number of monopods), so I could use my little smartphone holder to make a video! Due to not knowing if my time is fast/slower than the watch of those launching the fireworks, there is about a minute of no bursts while waiting for the start.
It was even nice for us, when we later watched the recorded fireworks, as it's not the same when one is looking through a camera viewfinder. Heck, on the S5 screen, it looked sharper than a knife, but we were watching the original file too!
To all of my Canadian friends, as well as everyone else, have a great celebration of Canada Day and/or the Fourth of July, and stay safe with those sparklers and boom-items with the kids! Please take a long minute to remember those who did not return from a conflict, and those friends and Families that waited for their loved ones to return.
Otherwise, hoping y'all will enjoy the fireworks!!
