Stars and Stripes Silhouettes

Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans. This was a bit of the bustling, busy, crazy scene in Times Square recently. I think that I recognized this flag from an amazing NYC taxi shot that Michael Elliot did last year.
Great shot!

@jsw0109 Prove it;-). Happy 4th, my friend. Is it raining there, too?!
July 4th, 2013  
Love how it glows!
July 4th, 2013  
Superb. Enjoy the day Amanda. What do you guys do on 4th July?
July 4th, 2013  
@amandal no, but it might tonight, which would suck, since the fireworks are mainly what I'm interested in.... if I went up to my hometown it would be another story. They always have a good parade there, but its 2 1/2 to 3 hrs drive
July 4th, 2013  
@seanoneill We are having a big family gathering/bbq and then going to watch the fireworks. Our old town had a sweet parade through the local main street. We would all wave little American flags and watch the local boy scouts, karate classes and bands, etc, march by. Loved that. Thanks, Sean!

@amandal sounds great. Enjoy, capture some happiness with your camera.
July 4th, 2013  
@michaelelliott Is this how you got the flag light on the taxis awhile back? I kept seeing your stuff all over town!
July 4th, 2013  
@amandal - haha yes this lighted flag was reflected in the taxis for that "famous" shot of mine. This is an excellent capture with the passing silhouettes. Great job!
July 4th, 2013  
Excellent capture very appropriate for the 4th

You were saving this one for the right day. :-) It's so cool that Michale took you to his favorite spots.
July 6th, 2013  
Beautiful shot and so apt!
July 6th, 2013  
Wow. Very cool. Love the silhouettes.
July 6th, 2013  
@bardejov This was after our meet up. We left them and were right in Times Square. My mom and I ventured in alone. I saw this, though and it looked familiar. It was so nice to have him show me around, though, and point out good angles for shots and such. Best day in forever! Thanks, friend!
July 6th, 2013  
Great capture.
July 6th, 2013  
Meg
love the people who make up America in front of the American flag! Great shot!

Thank you all so much for your comments on this capture from Times Square that I saved for the 4th. I had hoped to see a fireworks show and take photos but they were rained out. Maybe I can take in one at Kings Island sometime this summer.
July 7th, 2013  
Ooh!! This is really fabulous! I wish I had been there for the 4th this year...
July 7th, 2013  
Happy belated 4th!
July 7th, 2013  
@tabbycat I was there a couple weeks ago for the NYC meet up, but held onto this one for the 4th. Are you going to meet up with the crew there when you go? Such a great group of people. Michael Elliot was an amazing tour guide!

@helixconcepts Thanks so much, lady. It was a wet one this year and our fireworks were rained out:(. Still nice, though.
July 7th, 2013  
very awesome
July 7th, 2013  
I haven't planned anything yet, but if u guys have regular meet ups, I'd be silly not to join in! Who else besides ME is a NYC resident?
July 7th, 2013  
@tabbycat Adam, his brother. Ms. T, Happysnap, Jim something. There were 12 of us. I was the only one who travelled in for it, I think. Super fun time. Even if it's just ME, it would be great!

@tbats22 Thanks so much, Miss T! Did you ever hear my story about that?
July 8th, 2013  
Cool, thanks! I'll look into arranging a meet up, esp. given that this Aussie girl isn't in NCY very often! I'll be in NY/NJ for pretty much the whole month of August! Can't wait for it to be summer - it's freezing here! :-(
July 8th, 2013  
@tabbycat Brrr...I was so over winter this year. Have a blast!!
July 8th, 2013  
..I will, thanks! I'll see if I can find NYC too, while I'm at it! ;-)
July 8th, 2013  
Fantastic capture. Fav for sure. Great job with the folks passing through.
July 8th, 2013  
@tabbycat It's hard to miss:)! Yet I do miss it...hugely.

@adamj Thanks, Adam. You surely know the place, huh? Really appreciate the fav. I LOVED Times Square and all it's craziness!!!
July 8th, 2013  
I know what u mean! It was love at first sight for me! Perhaps Aug might be time to return for you...?? ;-)
July 8th, 2013  
@tabbycat If only...
July 8th, 2013  
@amandal Ah well, when u put a dream out there to the Universe, it's amazing how the Universe tends to provide! :-)
July 9th, 2013  
I really like this one. Happy belated fourth of July.
July 9th, 2013  
@tabbycat I actually did pray to go the first time, but financially it was maybe foolish in the end. It did work out, though.

@thirtysevenways Thank you, my friend!
July 9th, 2013  
Cool shot
