Another Bonfire Night shot, this time taken by our daughter Louise at an organised display in South Lincolnshire. I rather liked the colour effect in this shot.
The earliest fireworks came from China during the Song dynasty (960–1279). Fireworks were used to accompany many festivities, and their popularity spread around the world. Even today, China remains the largest manufacturer and exporter of fireworks in the world.
Fireworks produce a remarkable variety of effects and are enjoyed by many, but they do have their down side as well, with some people injured in accidents with them, animals startled and frightened, and air pollution.
Alternative forms of light and sound shows are available today, but somehow seeing firework displays is rather special. Perhaps it is just a reminder of childhood.
Beautiful display. Summer festivities in Malta are nothing without fireworks and we have many throughout summer. Nowadays they have been introduced even in weddings.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It is always nice to see fireworks at a well organised event, and both Louise in South Lincolnshire and Katharine, with Lucy, in London enjoyed seeing good displays.
