7/3/2009 - Chicago's Independence Eve Fireworks

For the second year in a row, Sharon and I viewed the Chicago Independence Eve Fireworks Show (associated with the Taste of Chicago) from the Museum Campus. The fireworks show -- along with the beautiful skyline -- did not disappoint. The lake breeze brought the firework smoke across Grant Park and the lakefront, making for an eerie view of the city. Below are some pics, which you can click on individually to enlarge a bit. I've actually got the entire display on HD video, but I'm unsure of an easy way to upload it. Instead, I'll provide a lower resolution, sped up version below. Enjoy!
