WW: Fireworks over Ferris Wheel at 2013 Delaware State Fair

Ferris Wheel Fireworks Photo



"Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon"
 - Firework by Katy Perry

After dancing in the flash mob on July 20, I twirled around the 2013 Delaware State Fair a bit more. Not only did I get to feed Twiggs the Giraffe a carrot, but I left the circus just in time to see fireworks burst beautifully over the ferris wheel! Trying to forever freeze two moving light sources in one stunning shot proved difficult on such short notice, so I also recorded my first video to help capture the moment.

    The video was good, but I really liked the photo best. I think it really caught the essence of the carnival and fireworks. Janet
