Let’s begin with this: I wasn’t at the right place for the fireworks, but I was at the right place.
At 5 pm, I arrived at Dumbo, right between Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge on the Brooklyn side – from there, you have a great view of Manhattan. I started with a few hours of Street Photography and I enjoyed the wonderful weather and the wind that cooled me down a little.
Starting at 6 pm, the crowd began to grow, and at 9:25 pm, when the fireworks started, we were a few thousand, a peaceful and friendly group of people, with their eyes set on the other side of the east river. Well, we saw a little bit behind the buildings… but that was it. I don’t care, because the evening was perfect. No regrets.
