Looking west, toward the Chicago Loop, waiting for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to strike up the first march. The signal for the fireworks to begin. Where else can you have fireworks accompanied by one of the world's greatest, if not The Greatest, orchestra. (The warm, suffused, glowing mood of this photo shows up best in the download version.

Looking west, with over a million others, toward Navy Pier and its new Ferris wheel, the Gold Coast and in the darkness, Lake Michigan. Soon to be illuminated by twenty minutes of dazzling fireworks synchronized to the rousing beat of American marches.

What a show!
