A thundering fireworks display offers a colossal finish to a Fourth of July weekend game at Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies baseball team. This image of a massive explosion just above the stadium’s scoreboard and grandstand projects its grandeur through its various layers. Three explosions combine in fire and smoke to create one coherent blast that shook the stadium and its 50,000 spectators in an ear-bursting combustion of light and sound. The foreground layer at top left offers the brightest part of the burst, a circular spray of brilliantly illuminated tentacles. Just behind it, in the middle layer of the image, is a remnant of an explosion that was even larger but now seems to be gradually diminishing in force and vanishing into the night. The last layer is a veil of smoke from the initial explosion, embracing not only the scoreboard in blue, but also the grandstand in red. The total effect jars the senses – we see the effect with our eyes, but we can also hear it and smell it in our imaginations.
