I usually watch the fireworks from DC, but decided to check them out from the river in Virginia this year. A few friends and I walked down the bike path from Rosslyn to a great spot just past Roosevelt Island – the view was gorgeous and definitely worth the hike. I love fireworks and seeing them reflected off the water just made them that much more beautiful. The full set of pictures can be found on my Flickr page, but here are a few highlights.

Great photos. I’ve never been to Roosevelt Island even though I’ve lived in DC for 12 years. Shame on me.

I’ve actually never been to the island either, I’ve only passed it on the bike path! It’s one of many things on my list this summer!

I’ve actually been to the island and you should totally go. It is about 1 mile around and is a totally pleasant walk through the woods. Very cool.
As for the photos — NICE WORK!
