Fireworks viewed from the roof of the Court at Willamette View, Portland OR

All photos were three second time exposures using a tripod and cable shutter release.

Some of the photos are from nearby displays, as usual several houses across the river put on big displays, and down near Elk Island someone else had a big display. Most of the photos are from downtown Portland using a 300mm lens.

 These three our my favorites, especially the last one.

 If you enlarge just one, I suggest it be this.

	Bright morning sun on circular spider webs They are beautiful but deadly parlors for some naive fly. More photos to come if I'm lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the spider, and even its prey. This web was likely woven by an orb spider. Read more about them here.
