Jamaica 50 Fireworks

Jamaica 50 Celebrations are pretty much over. I hope you all had a great Independence weekend, and I hope everyone was safe!

On Monday night hubby and I went with two friends, and their daughter to a section of Beverly Hills that overlooks the National Stadium in order to get good shots of the fireworks...

Now, if the level of noise coming to us from the top of that hill was anything to go by; inside the Stadium must have been deafening!

We set up our cameras, ready to shoot the fireworks. I took a couple shots of the stadium as well. After a while we all relaxed, waiting for the scheduled events to end....when out of nowhere a couple fireworks shot up into the sky. We all scrambled to our cameras and started snapping away in an attempt to catch the short burst of fireworks.

After a couple seconds, it was over. We all looked at each other...that's it???? Can't be....no no no. A couple who was watching close by thought that was all there was for the fireworks and left.

We were not leaving...We were determined to wait it out and make sure that there wasn't more to come. It was a long wait....but in the end we were not disappointed...not in the least :)
