Ooooh. Aaaah.

I like playing with my fireworks camera setting too much. :D













Unfortunately our show ended early and without the usual grand finale. We were parked a few blocks away, along with masses of other people. Everyone looked at each other, shrugged and hopped in their cars. As we were getting on the freeway, we heard sirens behind us. Turns out a firework went into the crowd over at the park where they were setting them off. EEP. Fortunately only 4 people had minor injuries.

Oooh, ahhh, indeed! I love fireworks. I wish we could have them every few weeks :D

Thank goodness it wasn't worse.. sorry about me stating the obvious *rolls eyes at self* but I know a chap who was blinded by one :(

BEAUTIFUL photos, absolutely lovely!

Yikes! Well, personal fireworks are banned in San Diego County, so at least we don't have many horror stories. The professional ones going astray is pretty rare.

And thanks!

OOooo. Pretty. I haven't had the opportunity to use the fireworks setting on my camera because our town has been too
corrupt
broke to afford them since 2005.

Eep, indeed, though. Glad no one was seriously injured.

There are a few towns around here that have had to stop too, but fortunately since everyone's right next to everyone else, it's easy enough to go to the next town.

OOOH SO PRETTY.

I do love fireworks. I'll have to try and catch some this summer.

Can you find any now that Canada Day is gone?

I HOPE SO.

Montreal runs an International Fireworks Competition which is AWESOME: http://www.internationaldesfeuxloto-quebec.com/en/programmation/calendrier.aspx

Every Saturday a country goes. China is usually the best oddly enough. I HOPE THEY HAVEN'T GONE YET. :D

There's a tribute to Celine Dion. Is she dead?

I.... don't think so. Though I have been somewhat out of the loop since leaving the country.

Humph there does not seem to be any China this year.
