🇺🇸✨ New York City on the Fourth of July - From more than 10 miles away, this view captures all five official Macy’s fireworks barges lighting up the skyline, with the One World Trade Center standing proudly alongside the show. Look closely and you’ll also spot countless neighborhood fireworks adding their own sparkle across the horizon.

🎆 Macy’s Fourth of July Fireworks first lit up New York City in 1976 as part of America’s Bicentennial celebration. Nearly 50 years later, it remains one of the country’s most iconic Independence Day traditions, drawing millions of spectators every year.

The Fourth of July in Bar Harbor... seen from the top of Cadillac Mountain! 🎇

This timelapse captures the fireworks sparkling over Frenchman Bay and the Town Pier, all from high above on Cadillac Mountain ♥️🌲🌊

📷 Behind the Timelapse: This sequence was made from over 800 photos, captured on two cameras. A Sony A1 with a 12mm lens framed the sunset, while the Sony A7RIIl at 200mm locked in on the fireworks lighting up Bar Harbor.

Freedom/ˈfrēdəm is the power and right to act, speak, and think without undue hindrance, coercion, or restraint. It is a deeply multifaceted concept that balances personal autonomy with collective responsibility, existing as both the absence of oppression and the presence of genuine opportunity.

A bird’s-eye view of Bar Harbor, Maine. 🌲🌊

Visible in the foreground is the natural land bridge connecting downtown Bar Harbor to Bar Island, a gravel and sand bar that emerges at low tide and disappears beneath the water as the tide returns. In the distance, the mountains of Acadia National Park rise above Mount Desert Island, illustrating the close connection between the town and the park.

Few places combine a working coastal town, a tidal island crossing, and a national park landscape quite like Bar Harbor.

The Milky Way Core hanging over Sand Beach in Acadia National Park, Maine ✨🤩 I’m so grateful that dark skies still exist. I grew up in a neighborhood where you could only see 3-4 stars IF you’re lucky due to light pollution. Each time I get the opportunity to be under skies like this, I feel so incredibly lucky 🙏
