Bang up 4th in Terrell, TX

The Terrell Chamber of Commerce sponsored the annual fireworks show at Ben Gill Park in Terrell last night and as usual it didnt disappoint.  More pictures and a video of the final 2:50 are posted to the Terrell Daily Photo Facebook page.

A big bang

The Terrell Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitors Bureau and the City of Terrell presented their annual fireworks show last night in Ben Gill Park.  As usual it was an awesome show.  I think this year was one of the biggest yet and I would put it up against any of the big city fireworks displays anytime.  Check out the album on Facebook for more pictures and please take a minute to click over the www.ihigh.com/terrelltigers for Tiger news.

Fireworks show in Ben Gill Park

A few of the fireworks over Ben Gill Park.

It was hot out, and fun. I was able to meet Christina for the first time, and got to talk to Michael and Don. Don is a professional photographer, and his photo tips are invaluable.

Favorite photo of 2008, #4, Fourth of July fireworks

This was originally posted on July 6th. It was taken during the annual 4th of July fireworks in Ben Gill Park.

This was the last photo of four pictures that I took starting with the the sunset and ending with this one, when the fireworks started.

I wonder what the fireworks will look like with my new camera? You will have to stick around until July to find out.
Click on the fireworks label below for all of the 4th of July pictures.

For Dallas Cowboys fans, I wanted to repost this picture.

Smile

It seems everyone was taking pictures on the 4th. I wanted to get a shot of the flags on the pavilion along with the large drums and I got this one. I like the lady and young child posing for the picture in front of one of the flags.



Brian has an interesting post for today, hop over and check his photo out.

Northeast Texas Symphony Orchestra

Fridays 4th of July festivities included a performance by the Northeast Texas Symphony Orchestra. I have tried to find information about them on the internet but have been coming up empty. Best I can gather is they are a group of 60 professional musicians who come from Paris, TX to Dallas, TX. and all areas in between. I have only been to the Dallas Symphony once. It was a casual Friday performance (that means I could wear jeans). I wasn't expecting much from NETSO, but they are very good. If you have a chance to go hear them play, do it. If anyone has any additional information about the orchestra please feel free to leave it in the comments.

The blooming crepe myrtles made for a beautiful backdrop.


The quality is not very good, but here is a short clip of the orchestra performing Hello Dolly.


A second longer clip is available on the you tube link to the right.

Just a couple more fireworks

Did I ever say how much I love Monday mornings? I didnt think so.

Just a few more fireworks pictures to share.

I love the way the ground was lit up from the blast.





Here is part of the finale. I uploaded a clip on you tube of a portion of the fireworks show. Click on the you tube link on the right. The fireworks show alone is worth the drive to Terrell from Dallas or Collin County. Tomorrow pictures of the North East Texas Symphony Orchestra.

Waiting for the sun to go down

I played with my camera while waiting for the sun to go down and the fireworks to start Friday night. I didnt plan on using the pictures for anything, but here they are.

The first picture was taken at 8:55PM


The picture below was taken at 9:14PM


The next picture was taken at 9:25PM just about time for
the fireworks to start.



The fireworks started at 9:32PM

Bang up 4th

Ben Gill park hosted the Terrell Chamber of Commerce 4th of July Celebration. The weather was perfect and the crowd was large. I got down there early, listened to the North East Texas Symphony Orchestra then got my spot for the fireworks. I really like the way the fireworks and the symphony photos turned out. So, guess what you get pictures of for the next week?

Other towns in the Metroplex have their own fireworks shows, but I would put Terrells show right up there with the big boys. The Chamber does a awesome job putting this on.

I added a couple of clip to You Tube. Click on the link to the right to see whats new.

Happy 4th of July

Still trying to decide where to watch fireworks on the 4th? Come visit us in Terrell. Activities are planned for Ben Gill Park starting at 5PM.

Ben Gill Park, Terrell, Texas

The park is a great place to play ball, walk, run, watch a softball or soccer game, have a picnic or watch the ducks, birds and turtles swim in the pond. The park hosts Terrells annual Forth of July celebration.
