Bokeh on the 4th

I usually don't post this many pics in a day, but since these are all related to the 4th of July I wanted to bunch them together and get them all posted pretty close together.  This is from the 20th floor of a residential tower in downtown Austin, looking south across the river at the Hyatt Regency (for all you Austin folks).  I like bokeh and like to experiment with what I call "pure blur" or a completely unfocused image.  It works really well I think at blue hour, and when you can toss in some water and twinkly lights, it comes out pretty sweet.  This was just a short bit before the fireworks show began...
