Fireworks have been part of American tradition and the American life for many, many years. They are most often used during the Fourth of July to celebrate America's independence from Great Britain or to celebrate the New Year. They are also often used at amusements parks, such as Disneyland Resort, at concerts, and other social events, usually in commemoration of a big holiday or other important event.



Fireworks come in all shapes and sizes. The bigger fireworks are shot up into the sky and explode into a beautiful array of patterns and colors while the smaller ones can be lit up on your own front lawn and make shrill noises, spin, and pop. Fireworks are a spectacular display of lights, patterns, and colors, and it is understandable to see why fireworks are a favorite model for photographers. Some of the more recent fireworks are created to display a pattern of some sort, such as words, an object, or an animal, when it explodes in the sky.
