You know what sent me here? A story about aliens writing about how insane human holidays are. This one was linked to independence day and talked about how humans celebrate the end to a bloody and violent war by detonating massive quantities of explosives over our cities, oh and drinking but that goes without saying.

I wish I could hear the music from a capital fourth

Hi, nice Video. From where exactly did you shoot this? Wondering since we will be there as well next week and looking for a good spot.

This spot is kind of off the beaten path. It's roughly the same view as you'd get from the USMC Memorial/Netherlands Carillon, just a bit closer to the edge of the river.
