Fireworks in #Boston as viewed from Telegraph Hill. Less-than-ideal view of the Pops show, but lots of visibility on all the (illegal and extra-unwise on account of the severe drought) fireworks over Dorchester, and even some within launched from within a 5-block radius.

Fireworks against the Boston skyline. The Pru is visible on the left side of the image, and the very top of the Hancock building is just visible over some trees on the right. Red and green fireworks bursts that aren't *quite* in focus illuminate a skyscraper

A sparkling fireworks burst viewed from Telegraph Hill in Boston. The trail of the initial rocket launch is still faintly visible, showing the rocket's trajectory. Dorchester is visible in the background over South Boston rooftops, and there is another burst going off in the far distance.
