    Nice pictures Mike. The fireworks ones are spectacular I'm usually on the shore watching the airshow. It's been years since I went downtown to see the fireworks show. Too crowed. 2 hours to get home after wards when its normally takes 15 minutes.

    I really miss being around the Hampton Rhoads area. You have Langley Air Force Base, Norfolk Naval Airstation, Oceana Naval Airstation, and many more. You did a fabulous job capturing those shots. My hat is off to you.

    Mike, it is okay to post photos that you like. However, it is NOT okay to claim credit for photos that are not photos that you took. This is one of several recent threads where you have posted someone else's work.

So here are a few shots that show the effect of the water on both events
