Over the holiday weekend my wife and I went sailing with our friends Jamie and Lori from Salem Harbor to Provincetown and back. I took these shots on the evening of the 4th as we approached our return to Salem Harbor.

As we approached the coast north of Boston we could see fireworks, both private and official, up and down the shore. As we moored the boat, we had front-row seats to the Marblehead, Manchester-by-the-Sea, and Salem fireworks displays. Tough to say who scored highest marks as all were amazing. Salem perhaps had a slight edge since they were closest and because they did a rather nice encore after an already impressive finale. Sorry no photos--a floating boat isn't a great platform for long-exposure photography.
