We had planned to go to Marina Del Rey for the fireworks, but an upset stomach required us to stay a little closer to home. So we went up to the roof to see what we could see. We saw fireworks all around, although mostly in the distance along the coast, which showed up as sparks on the freeway over/underpasses. Sam lives at the nexus of the 10 and 405 freeways.
There were fireworks to the northwest, somewhere on Wilshire Blvd in West Los Angeles.
There were multiple fireworks along the coast, which, because of the curvature of the Earth, showed up at the same level of the 10 west to 405 north freeway connector.
A house across the street appeared to have demonic possession in the backyard (or just a strobe light) as firecracker lights frantically crackled on and off. No picture of that one, but I did catch a shot of the fireworks set off just a few blocks south, which, more than any other, looked like exploding cars on the freeway.
And, in what was possibly the most anemic “large” fireworks display – right in front of us, in plain view, was the Century City fireworks display.
The buildings to the left up there are the buildings in Century City along Wilshire and Santa Monica.
