Guy Fawkes 2006 - Cam Theme - 13

Saturday, 04 November 2006 - the night Wellington's sky and harbour lit up in the fireworks display that is Guy Fawkes. It was also the ending of the Golden Oldies rugby celebrations and a Jazz Festival in Wellington. So what better way to bring all of these events under one umbrella of the Wellington sky and create one BIG public show.

There are 10 pics in this week's "CAM". Click on the image for a larger view.

This is a little glimpse of the pics coming up on the next CAM theme... Abstract Wellington.

Looking north west from the yatch club. Queen's Warf is on the far left.

The fireworks didn't just light up the sky - even Wellington harbour reflected the big BOOM...

Purple Rain - well, that's the song I had 'playing' in my head whilst this was being uploaded

hundreds and thousands being sprinkled over Wellington - that's what these fireworks look like to me... A little 'over exposed' but I like it. Anyone want to add a link to their firework photo's from that night?

I call this one 12 moons... Finally, I could capture a burst of blue colour. All the rest came out fuzzy and blurred...

Nearing the end of the fireworks display - it always seems the best are saved for last...

The final crescendo - an explosion of silvery white
