Independence Day 2007 in Pictures

Posted by Matt Jones on July 5th, 2007

Seattle's Gas Works Park fireworks celebration!

Yes on this year’s celebration of our independence that comes around every 4th of July I managed to take a few pictures. I’m sure you are surprised. Our original idea was to spend the day at Woodland Park Zoo… but then we decided that it would be too expensive… and we are too lazy. So Dan, Stacey, Casey, Jim, and I went to nearby Wallingford Park and had a picnic, played bocce ball, played cards, laid around, and generally just enjoyed ourselves on the bright sunny day. In the evening we had a Long Way Round marathon (there’s nothing like celebrating Independence Day like watching two Brits driving around the world on motorcycles…) and then adjourned to the roof to watch the Gas Works Park fireworks celebration on Lake Union. Without further ado, here are some snapshots from the day (with more of the fireworks in a slideshow at the bottom). Pictures are clickable for larger versions. For those that prefer it, I put a few pics up at a Flickr set as well: 4th of July 2007.

UPDATE: You should also read Laura’s post: It’s Independence Day - Not “The 4th”. Really. Go read up.

    Wow thanks for the slide show. I was actually out on a boat on lake union so I pretty much was in the middle of the show. :) It was so awesome that when a big on went off, I felt it in my chest. Oh man, good times.

    I’m glad to see you enjoyed your 4th!

Just finished my ninth week of teaching and things are going extremely well!! How is time passing so quickly?

I got rid of the shoutbox (for now) because it wasn't working right. Hopefully I will get that fixed soon. You may have noticed that I have been changing things around a bit. Hopefully this theme looks good and works well. If you notice any bugs or things that need to be fixed or just look better, just let me know (or leave a comment)! The header images (there are 34 in rotation right now!) are pictures that I have taken over the last few years.
