Fireworks over Woodland Hills, July 4, 2011

This is what the fireworks looked like from one of the higher spots in Woodland Hills on July 4, 2011.

The fireworks were launched from the Warner Center Marriott parking structure and seen most closely from Warner Center Park -- a virtually impenetrable destination before the 9:05 p.m. start time.

But there were plenty of other spots in the area from which fireworks across the Valley could be seen. We were in one of them.
