Amazing bay view

Chosen Pick of the Month!

Our judges said that you had to be in the right place at the right time to get this shot. The contrast of the dark blue sky and black outline of the mountains, along with the fireworks, the lights of the bay and the bright star in the sky combined for a beautifully composed photo.

The photographer wrote: "Bayveiw fireworks are the most amazing fireworks to see on Pend Oreille Lake. The steep canyon echos like thunder from each colorful burst. The show lasts up to a half hour or more. When the show is finished a roaring cheer can be heard through the whole bay. This year I wanted to capture the whole bay with boats and fireworks." Taken July 4.
