Everyone loves fireworks! These were taken on midsummer night 2011. The last one looks like what you can see at Disneyland Theme park!

bon fire night

5th Nov, it was Bon Fire Night aka Guy Fawkes day. It was FULL ON fireworks display for couple of days. Shame - this year the weather wasn't very good. But the show must go on!

A little bit of history here.
What does November mean do you? shorter daylight? Colder weather? Wet? Remembrance Day? For me it has got to be Guy Fawkes Night.
Guy Fawkes Night is an annual celebration on the evening of 5 November. It marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the Houses of Parliament, in London, capital of England.
In the United Kingdom, celebrations take place in towns and villages across the country in the form of both private and civic events. They involve fireworks displays and the building of bonfires on which traditionally "guys" are burnt.

This picture was taken in a friend's "Bon Fire party" on 7th Nov. Not the conventional fountain-typed pattern, it has got the scatted stars effects.
