Got a chance to some shots of the next to last Waterfire in Downtown Providence. Hope you like them. C&C always welcome

One of the starter boats begins to light the braziers

The crowd watches as the fires begin

    Nice job :): Do you mean next to last for this year, or forever? It would be a shame if they stopped doing it. It's the coolest aspect of Providence, IMHO.
    Once upon a time, they all lived happily ever after.

    No, for this year. I have not heard anything about cancelling. I only live 10 minutes away but only get there once or twice a year. The State is in a real budget mess, they stopped the catamaran ferry to Newport and they are cutting back on everything. ne_nau.gif

    Hope they don't cancel forever -- I have a kid at Brown, and while I hate the traffic that this creates, it is pretty neat and I'd like to try to shoot it myself sometime.

    Me either. I really enjoy it. It is a challenge to shoot but I was very happy with the shots I got. The last one is this weekend and it is for Breast Cancer Awareness. They are going to light the State House in Pink. It should be a great photo op. It will be crowded, however.
