Recuperation journey: July 4th sunset seen in Brooklyn


Our son Cameron knows how much I love to take photos of sunsets so I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find this photo in my email. 
He lives in Brooklyn and took this from a rooftop while he and his friends were waiting for the fireworks to begin. I had to share!
