Fireworks in downtown San Jose

Hmm, this is a post I've been meaning to put up for a while, but didn't really get down to doing so. Last month, Mahi, Vikas, Kiran and I had gone down to San Jose to see the 4th of July fireworks. In a lot of cities here - Fremont included - buying, selling and using fireworks in illegal. Then again, because of the safety norms, everyone cannot really use fireworks. They have designated areas where fireworks displays take place, and everybody watches.

Personally, I feel this kinds of puts a dampener on the spirit, but then the sheer size, volume and complexity of the fireworks really takes your breath away. Most of these displays are automated, with the person controlling the automation still well away from the display.

We went to a hill in San Jose to witness these, and it was well worth it.

    Hi Putra,
    Very nice snaps and excellent fireworks display. Seeing the snaps, I can imagine how great the fireworks would have been. I wonder whether you had seen some of the snaps taken by C&R. They are equally good. Njoi.com.

    Thanks Papa. No, we ddn't get to see their snaps, but I would expect that those too would have been really good.
