An Indelible View
While I usually prefer natural wonders over those man-made, I was impressed by the aerial view of 4th of July fireworks. Typically I witness fireworks on the ground and gaze above me to see the explosion of colors in a darken sky. But, as I was flying home on the night of the 4th, the clear sky allowed me to see fireworks light up the earth like fireflies. A burst of red here, a burst of green there. With the yellow street light as backglight for the dark ground, beautiful evanescent fireworks randomly appear. From the sky, every town was having their celebration, and in Chicago, every community and every block was putting up some show. It was magnificent.
