Thought it was partially obscured by smoke near the end, Sunday’s Fourth of July fireworks on the National Mall dazzled.
In case you missed it, local photographers captured the scene from a number of angles, including from vistas in Arlington like the Iwo Jima memorial, Long Bridge Park, the Clarendon/Courthouse area, and the Crystal City/Pentagon City area.
For fireworks aficionados, the countdown to next year’s Independence Day show now begins. July 4 will fall on a Monday in 2022.

Happy Independence Day! We had great visibility this year from Arlington…The smoke hung around towards the end, but couldn’t have asked for better weather otherwise. @ARLnowDOTcom @capitalweather pic.twitter.com/lRixf5tCCG
