Bastille Day Fireworks in Paris

We spent a couple of weeks in France, starting with Bastille Day, July 14th, in Paris. French national pride is incredibly evident in the day's activities. The start is a parade down the Champs Elysee displaying France's military, police and firefighter prowess. Very impressive and well done. Even some art with an ending ballet involving firefighters and ladders. The evening was a not to be missed display of fireworks with the Eiffel tower as background. I was all set to take some photographs of the event, but was tough to get an unimpeded view with over a million people at the event. Got a few good shots but with a building and a tree in my way. To see more, check out the set on my Flickr. Anyway, if you get a chance to be in Paris on Bastille day, don't miss the celebration. Its fantastic.
