Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia
Mother Nature provided the fireworks off in the distance and man provided the annual fireworks display at Wintergreen Resort [2] this past Sunday night as part of their annual fireworks display. We already told you about the spectacular shot our Mountain Photographer, Paul Purpura got of the fireworks and the lightning. [3] An incredible photo shown below.

[5]The annual fireworks display has become a family tradition at the resort.
[6]In between fireworks sets, lightning could be seen off in the distance toward Charlottesville. The storm seen in the photo caused substantial damage in Charlottesville and Ivy, Virginia.
[7]Long before darkness fell, crowds line the hillside and slopes at Wintergreen Resort for a perfect view of the fireworks. The fireworks are fired over the valley from an elevation of roughly 3000 feet.
