Postcard Scavenger Hunt #5 ~ Night / Lights & Happy 4th of July everyone!

I have added a few night/lights from my hometown Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada.





The romantic seaside setting of West Street, Port Colborne comes alive with tourists by the thousands during Canal Days every summer.


This image is from Canal Days, the Civic Holiday weekend in August. We always have a boat parade with Fireworks. The parade is led by Buffalo's 100 year old Fire~boat the "Edward M. Cotter" and is framed by spectacular fireworks.


All postcards were published and distributed by Thies Bogner MPA, FPPO (Master Photographer) Welland, Ontario.





Over at Postcardy's blog she issues a different challenge for each month. This month is Night/Lights and she wishes for each of us to post a card from where we live. This will make for an interesting challenge and it will be awesome to see all the pretty night lights come in from all over the world. Here is the link to add your card and play or view all the pretty cards that will be coming in for you to view.

Wishing everyone a blessed and beautiful 4th of July!

Splendid night shots of your town! I live in Ontario too, but am a west coast transplant who still has tons (understatement!) of the province to see, so I haven't had the pleasure of visiting Port Colborne (yet).

Thank you very much for your comment on my blog, I hope you have a terrific, relaxing weekend!

Port Colborne looks amazing in these pictures and the canal boat, spraying water with fireworks really caught my attention. What a wonderful way to celebrate! Wish I could be there!!
