Freedom Celebration in Panorama...

This picture was taken at 3:30 just when everyone was beginning to arrive...

(This view is from the base of the stage) 

I wanted to set up the same shot when most of the people were in their places... (This one was taken around 6:30 and my view was from on the stage) ... 

I was so excited this year I had an escort onto the roof of our church for this shot!!

This was taken from the opposite side on the roof!  I felt so privileged!! :) ...

These are my first attempts at "Panorama" and Stitching together in Photoshop!  I may be hooked!... except that the files are so large that I couldn't post them as Face Book Albums (I have to work on downsizing the files...)  In the meantime I thought that this was the best way to share them for now... Even though you need a magnifying glass to see them!!  At least you have an idea of the THOUSANDS (estimated around 20,000) folks who were wandering around the campus of Flint River Baptist Church on Sunday Afternoon!  Yes... I do believe there is "Life At The River" ... :) ...  and many of them we prayerfully touched on Sunday afternoon/evening!

Freedom Celebration 2010! ...

Flint River Baptist Church in Hazel Green, AL (my home church) just hosted our 5th annual "Freedom Celebration" this past Sunday.  What a Spectacular Day it was as we always conclude with what has become known as "The Largest Fireworks Display in North Alabama"!!  (and I always throw in "THE BEST"! because I have seen Fireworks in several locations including the Atlanta Braves Stadium last year!) ... Today I have included a few of my favorite images that I captured this year, as I chose to make my way through a few thousand people to get some shots as the fireworks topped our church steeple ... I was inspired by an image that I saw last year. I am so pleased by what God allowed me to "catch" this year!  I will post more on my FaceBook Fan page so follow me there to see more! ...
