I've actually had these photos in the que for over a month now. I took these during the Rock the Red celebration on July 4th. Naturally I posted the pictures of the fireworks but neglected to feature any other images from the event.
It was actually a very pleasant evening on the Red River, which was a very welcome surprise. It has been an unusually dry summer here in central Louisiana and it has provided many opportunities to actually venture outside without the fear of turning into a giant ball of perspiration.
Before the fireworks began fellow photographer Josh Poe and I left our families on the river's edge and ventured back to the Gillis W. Long Bridge where we had a great vantage point to take pictures of the sun setting over the river. The sky was filled with clouds from an approaching storm and the sun behind them turned every shade of red, orange, yellow and in some instances purple. It was absolutely beautiful.
After taking numerous shots we returned to the shore of the Red River and joined our families just in time to enjoy the fireworks show. Overall it was a truly magical evening that I hope you can enjoy vicariously through my photos.
