I decided not to shoot the Redondo Beach Pier fireworks this year.  I got some great shots last year but wanted to try something new, not sure it worked too well because there was a lot of obstacles (buildings etc) in my line of view.  I guess I could have climbed on top of a building but I was more interested in watching my daughters face light up as she watched the fireworks light up the sky.  Maybe next year…
