Arrived on the National Mall a little after 8 . The Smithsonian Metro Station has 2 exits but you could only exit for the 12th Street and Independence Avenue one so a little walk to the mall. Just follow the crowds... LOL Since I ended up so close to one of security entrances I decided what the heck and in I went, BIG MISTAKE ..... It really put me to close. I was like a chicken with her head cut off deciding on where to set up. I walked around passed the monument to the other side to see if I could make my way to the WWII and see the reflecting pool. Nope you were caged in with no exit that way. If I stayed on this side no view of both fireworks and monument or anything that would scream these are DC fireworks so all the way back I went. At this point time was running out so I had to pick a spot quickly.
Me: OMG they are so low and that tree ... 😩 Les just deal with it, there was no way to move over. You get what you get. Not the pic in my head but I do like ALL the lite up cellphones.
On a side note,ALWAYS double check that you've zipped your camera bag, don't ask me why but thankfully nothing seems to be broke. I'll just never learn.🙃
Fabulous! You did a superb job.
I lived nearby for years but never went in for the 4th. Usually the fireworks at Antietam Battlefield and Harpers Ferry.

So glad to know nothing was damaged in your camera kit
