Sweet surprises.....!

I didn't make it to Skyworks last night (I had my own fireworks..in my head!), this almost graphic shot is my favourite from last years display. Do you ever download an image and think 'what the!' Straight from the camera this one was most unexpected because apart from little flashes of colour it's almost a B&W, the frame of the Bell Tower to the left which was lit up like a Christmas tree all evening stark against the black background. In an overly colourful evening this one was a sweet surprise! Happy Sunday, take care.....p.s. So happy that I got the star on top.....!

  5. Stunning. I will use it as wallpaper for a bit. I think it got a little lost among your other great firework photos from last year.

  6. Your own fireworks? In your head? Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear, as someone said. I know. I was at Woodstock.

  10. It sure is a shot t be proud of. I saw some of your fireworks last night while I was watching the football (soccer). Brisbane played Perth. Both teams played awfully . Somehow we managed to win. The fireworks could be seen over the stadium.
