The pix:

Maywood (7) - 7-2-18

Saddle Brook? (1) - 7-3-18

No idea where [8] - 7-3-18

Meadowlands Fair (1) - 7-3-18

First shot includes 29 Linden. Eighth shot (which I think is Saddle Brook) shows Hackensack apartment buildings in the vicinity of Passaic and Prospect. The "No idea" shots were not nearby and were north of me. Many show a thin cloud at or below their level - probably non-dispersed smoke from previous exploding fireworks. They looked more interesting than Saddle Brook's (or whatever town it was), so I stuck with them. The fifth from the last image looks like a comet with exploding sprinkles on it.

All were done by 9:45 - 10:00pm, except for the ones from the Fair, which started at around 11pm (as they probably will tonight).

Overall, the various towns' displays have been somewhat disappointing, compared with previous years, so I'm expecting big things from the hometown tonight. I think Leonia might be in the frame simultaneously. It'll probably be too cloudy to shoot the Macy's fireworks from here tonight.

This will be my last year of having unobstructed views of the Hackensack fireworks from home. The 5-story 389 Main St project will be completed before next July 4. I'll still be able to see most of the good parts. Hopefully, the building's exterior won't be all lit up.

I think I'll try to make a flick tonight in addition to stills since it won't look the same  - or as good - next year.


All shot from my roof.
