Dark and stormy night

The hot and humid weather we've been having finally ended with thunderstorms. I tried to get some lightning shots but had no luck. Then I saw the fog forming and moved to a different location.



I've taken shots from this same spot looking in the other direction.

Fireworks from above


This is the second time I've shot the fireworks in Central Valley, N.Y., from the Route 6 overlook. The photograph at left was taken before the show started, but you can see a small burst of distant fireworks in the lower center above the shopping center lights.

I was hoping to get the moon with the main fireworks, but that was not possible from my location. I was also hoping to get some lightning in the distance, but the weather did not cooperate.
