So I know it is after the 4th of July

But this year I went down to the river near my apartment because THIS year, the Macy's fireworks were on the Hudson River.

We got there just as the sun was setting over the Little Red Lighthouse. Isn't that a yummy picture?

There were a lot of people sitting around waiting for it to get dark enough and admiring the view down the Hudson.

They lit up the bridge for the 4th also. They have converted the String of Pearls to LED's and it is now looking really good because they are all lit for a change. Seems that before the LED conversion a few lights in the string were always out. The supports look SO amazing lit up.

We were too far away to see the low ones, but the evening was a resounding success anyway. The big problem was that you couldn't really HEAR them.
