Excellent night photography, but what's up with the lack of fencing on that 61st floor observation deck?

The fireworks were a bit low around 400 to 500 ft, I guess thats normal.

Great pictures, and view. The old Jeweler's Building is a jewel itself. Always been one of my favorites, and this thread shows why.

Cool vantage point for the fireworks. Seeing them at eye level with buildings in the foreground really give the explosions a sense of scale. They're huge.

Great angles! You captured some of the buildings in a way some of us haven't seen before. Not to mention, great lighting and clarity.
