Just watched this all from the Burnside Bridge. Good times.

nice pics. I was on the lawn at the waterfront park. I looked over at the Marquam Bridge but didn't see you.

did they close down the marquam bridge?

since when have they brought in two barges? I used to go to the Portland one, but one year I didn't go into the Blue Fest and all the fireworks were blocked by the Hawthorne. The next year I watched from inside the festival but it was so packed I decided not to go back...If I had known they were launching from two barges I would have been there!

Thanks for the pics by the way!

no, but that didn't stop a bunch of cars from pulling over and getting out to watch the show.

Here are a few of mine from that evening…

Only got a couple of fireworks pics before my battery died… and nothing spectacular.

Cool pictures. Portland seems like a cool place to spend the Fourth of July. I love the fireworks that shoot from the boats. They have those here in Baltimore as well; Portland's boats are bigger though
