A few years ago, my wife and I were on a trip to San Diego. On our last night there, we decided to go for a walk to a pier that was relatively close by. As usual, I wanted to take my camera gear as we were far enough away from the city that I thought I could get a cool cityscape shot.

We finally arrived at the location and I started to shoot a few of the photographs I had walked there to take. Shortly after I started, we began to hear music coming from the arena and my wife quickly looked up, who it was that was playing.

Little did we know, but Paul McCartney was playing a show that evening, and close to the end of it, his pyrotechnics started to really light up the sky.

I’ve always thought these images would be cool hanging on a wall somewhere or being showcased alongside someones Paul McCartney memorabilia. They’ve never been printed, shown, or displayed anywhere other than on my Facebook page.

To close out the evening, Paul started singing Hey Jude. Even though we were quite a ways away, you could clearly hear the song that was being sung.All the others around us that had come to watch the show from a distance, began to sing along as well. I don’t know that I’ll ever get to experience anything like this again.
