The Observation Deck

Great shots Bryan!

Here are mine!

Thanks for the photos.

Being in the parade means I miss actually seeing the parade.

I really enjoy seeing lots of friends watching the fun and even managed to convince a friend to bring her jet-lagged family from San Diego to see Independence Day, Lakewood style.

Thanks Ivor, same for you...but that's always expected

Brian wonderful photos.

Ivor as always your photos are amazing and they look like you can almost reach out and touch the subject.

Here are mine of the parade and some from later in the evening.

IVOR I am really impressed with your attention to detail and the things that catch your eye. Your photos of individuals are awesome! You really caught the spirit of the day.

Thanks to Danielle for your addition!

These photoblogs of the parade are really special. We usually don't see parade photographs taken by people IN the parade, for one thing, and they also all have a certain feeling about them that capture the essence of the event.

So thank you, Deb, Bryan, Brian, Ivor & Danielle.

I can only imagine how it would feel to be away from home and have the opportunity to look at this kind of coverage. I wouldn't find it anywhere but in the Observer, and I'm sure I would make a pest of myself showing these blogs to everyone and telling them that this is my hometown and this is what an Independence Day Lakewood style looks like.

I am away for the Holiday and I love taking pictures of this parade ( I really miss it ....but....). All the photos are terrific and I am sharing them with everyone we are with...they really capture the feel of Lakewood!!

Thank you!!!
