We camped last night in Olympic National Park - very little patriotism on display and zero fireworks. It was the quietest, most perfect 4th I've had in my 42 years.
I share your feelings of wanting to distance myself from what should be a time of celebration. I’ve never felt more disconnected from my fellow Americans.
Great photos as usual! I love the points of light, even in the darkness. To me, it represents hope, even as we feel all the feelings and stray towards the dark streets and quiet places. Often, that's where we find our sanity in the chaos. And, ultimately, our way back to what truly matters.
Thank you!!! Seriously glad you liked them. I am enthralled by those black and whites... I need to get back out there and do more with those empty streets.

That is amazing! Quietness is amazing!

Thanks for making me feel less alone, Shawn! It's a tough time, but there are other likeminded people out there, right? THANK YOU!

LOVE THIS! That's great. I love the idea of "points of light" within those. Totally changes how I see them!!!! How awesome.
Amazing Photos

Looks like peace in the chaos to me, Jerred. Very peaceful to me!
Wonderful moments, Jerred!
I haven't seen many photographers who successfully drag those really long exposures.
Beautiful work!
