I promised you pictures, so here's some fireworks!

All of these were taken at Rhythm and Booms 2005 in Madison, WI.

The show rocks, the sky is constantly full of fireworks, with usually 3-5 going off at a time and all of it is choreographed to music. This year they had live music with the Madison Symphony Orchestra, so imagine orchestra music playing ;O)

Here's a couple multi-shots:

Some more random shots from throughout the show:









Sucks to be the people sitting to the north... How's the smoke?

Oh, and there's the stage where the orchestra was playing and a big vid-screen for people to see them.



Back to the fireworks!





Here's the finale bit by bit, imagine 105mm Howitzers firing here and there as these are going off as well...







So there you have Rhythm and Booms. Hope you enjoyed it! I'll put more pics up on Friday!

That sounds like the coolest thing -- the fireworks and the orchestra all together. I love fireworks. And orchestras. We went to Red Rocks Amphitheater and saw Blues Traveler in their annual 4th of July show, and we sat up high enough to see the shows across the Denver area. It was cool.

Marie - Thanks! Had to weed out the bad ones, but I give you guys the best :O)

Leesa - Except no music ;O)

Gimpy - Coordinating to music makes it amazing. And like i said to Marie... it took about 40 pictures to get 15 pretty good ones. You definitely need to see it live though!

Carrie - That's why they make baby-sitters ;O) Though I spose they're in pretty high demand on the 4th. next year!
