Unexpected....

I didn't plan this evening to be shooting pictures of  fireworks through barbed wire, in fact I didn't plan to take pictures of  the fireworks from this show at all.  In fact I even forgot that there would be fireworks at the Country Club not far from my new house.

It did bring back memories of many years in many different houses being able to see the fireworks from this same Country Club.

We were not members, of course, that is a privilege for the rich and famous in our town.   The picture with the barbed wire made me stop and think more than I had already on the meaning of freedom.   How many people have seen similar sights from behind barbed wire......what is the cost of freedom, and why do so many choose to do things that ultimately lead to the loss of their personal freedom......

Those musings also seem to fit with the irony of this shot.....
