A photograph of fireworks near downtown Anchorage. The fireworks are glowing orange and blue to the left of the main downtown areas. Buildings are glowing in the dark as smoke from the fireworks drifts over the tops of the buildings. The scene reflects perfectly in the water surrounding downtown.
Fur Rondy Fireworks this evening in Anchorage, AK with a great refection over the water. I chose this spot to capture the smoke drifting to the right and over downtown.
Stay tuned for a timelapse!
Thank you to the student representative to the UA board of regents who stood on business voting against removing diversity equity and inclusive language within the University you are the ONLY REAL ONE and the UA board of regents are all gutless wonders
