The StoryA large blue and white firework exploding over the water in Solomons Island, Maryland, with a waterfront restaurant and the Governor Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge visible in the background.The LocationSolomons Island marks its summers with fireworks over the Patuxent River — the bridge lit up, the boardwalk glowing, and the whole community gathered at the waterfront. These celebrations are as much a part of the Bay's rhythm as the tides.Artist's Perspective"Solomons on the Fourth is pure Chesapeake celebration — the bridge lit up, the boardwalk glowing, and fireworks reflecting off the Patuxent. I set up on the rocks across the harbor for the widest possible view. The reflection is half the photograph." — Ryan LottCurator's RecommendationThe panoramic format makes this piece ideal for wide wall spaces, above a sofa or credenza.
