Sky Rockets at Night

It’s an amazing thing to place a camera where it’s needed in three-dimensional space.

Princeton University’s reunions are huge. About 25,000 attendees and the quantity of beer consumed is second only to the Indy 500.

In keeping with the scale a massive fireworks display takes place on Saturday night, the third and final night of the event. As a point of reference Princeton University Stadium, seen beneath the fireworks, seats just shy of 28,000. Carnegie Lake is in the foreground and I’m about ½-mile away from the launching site.
