A Few Photos from Firefall 2008

Firefall is a huge outdoor concert and fireworks display in Springfield, Missouri. This year there were skydivers and hot air balloons in addition to the Concert in the Sky.

Lexie and Eric have never missed Firefall in their lives. Sadly, we never remember to take many photos so I don't have many to share here.


























My camera is not good at taking photos of fireworks. Lucky for you, the batteries died almost as soon as the fireworks display began.

Your camera did just fine.

I like that balloon, it's almost as big as McBush's head.

Looks awesome!

How very cool - we're right down the road from Springfield so maybe we'll find ourselves there some year.

You really should come for Firefall or the fair, Tonia. I think you're even closer to my sister who commented right above you. She's in Bella Vista.

Yes I am still here. Our fair is in Washington county (Fayetteville) in Sept.

Sharon CRACKS me UP!

That looks like a really cool event ya got there, Andrea!
I love photos of Spanish moss on rusting cars. Thanks for sharing.

The pix are good. Something inherently photogenic about balloons.
Heather C. Aug 20, 2008, 5:23pm EDT
Okay, I'm doing the shots of all the balloons we took too!
Marianne R. Aug 20, 2008, 5:40pm EDT
Cool photos. I'm off to check some of them out!
Tonia, who hugs trees G. Aug 20, 2008, 5:54pm EDT
Yes, Bella Vista is only about 40 minutes from here. I just think it would be really cool to go watch hot air balloons.

fireworks are hard to capture no matter what your shooting with.

Fireworks and hot air balloons...I love both, this looks like fun.

Hmm....fireworks seem a little lacking after witnessing the explosive destruction of the entire universe, if only in illusion.
Monica H. Aug 20, 2008, 10:46pm EDT
Great photos Andrea.
