Independence Day is the national day of the United States. It is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.
During my trip across America I have celebrated the 4th of july in Texarkana TX and made this short report.

In 2009, Titus traveled to the United States on a two month journey where he worked on his his latest series, “Miles away”. In this work, Titus shows his audience the life of two young cowboys living on a “Cow Camp” in Idaho.
