Ooooh I’m so excited for our Independence Day! This blogger’s going to Maine, what are you folks up to? I thought it would be fitting to do a little top ten firework picture roundup, as ’tis the season. Plus, what were long exposures made for if not fireworks?

Check out some of these gems, all found on flickr, from firework displays across the globe.
