Description
The family and I were at the L.L. Bean 4th of July concert in Freeport Maine. It was a beautiful night. After the concert, we were treated to a short, but very pleasant fireworks show. I appreciated how short it was and actually how quiet it was because deep in my core, I am anti-fireworks because of how much they scare animals.
This particular photo was a bit of a surprise to me when I brought it home to process. If you look very carefully, you will see the outline of a child's face looking out at you. She is located in the upper right side with the fireworks surrounding her. She also has red hair and a heart shaped nose. This just blew my mind. WOW! I can clearly see her black eyes, closed mouth and chin. She looks very sad and forlorn. This is why I love photography. Sometimes we find things in our photos that we never imagined were there. I hope this little angle looking down at us finds some peace, because she definitely doesn't look very peaceful or happy to me.
