The 4th of July firework display at Eureka Lake in Eureka, IL
On July 4th, I traveled to Eureka, IL to enjoy a 4th of July firework display at dusk. I ended up photographing this display with my Canon 5D Mark III at Eureka Lake. This was my first time attending this firework display and it was a decent show I thought despite the typical abundance of mosquitoes this time of the year. I've added several images I shot during the evening below:
Beautiful colors!
A neat shot of the firework display beginning at the lake!

That's all for this post. In July, I ended up spending some time at Matthiessen State Park and Starved Rock State Park hiking and capturing some waterfalls and I'll be adding that post in the coming days.
