A cluster of fireworks in the night sky. Mostly red, with a bit of green.

Railroad crossing on a paved pedestrian / bike path (The Huckleberry Trail in Montgomery County, VA). On the left in the foreground is a large yellow circular sign warning of an upcoming crossing; in the middle distance you can see the two railroad crossing signs marking the rails -- these are white signs in the shape of an X; one crossbar reads "Crossing", the other (that runs underneath) says "Rail Road"
