July 4th Fireworks over Brown Mountain

This composite image clearly shows July 4th sky-rocket fireworks in the valley east of Brown Mountain.  The fireworks were captured by our BMl Cam1 which sits atop a house on Jonas Ridge and looks southeast toward Brown Mountain.  The image was compiled by stacking 4 seperate 30-second time exposure images together.  A MedEvac helicopter on it's way to the Caldwell Memorial Hospital in downtown Lenoir was also captured, first withfaint navigation lights on, then with it's bright landing light burning.
