We found a spot outside town to watch the fireworks, a gap in the trees on a dirt road, facing west.

A gap in the trees shows a large field, trees in the city beyond, then mountains, after sunset.

The first fireworks started when you could still see the mountains, which made a good background.

Fireworks launch from a city park with large mountains visible behind.

Chewy outside, crunchy inside.

One large firework decays and blows in the wind while another one grows sharply in the same space.
