A few years ago on New Year’s Eve, I took some pictures while we were setting off fireworks to celebrate the coming of the new year. Many of them came out distorted. This one is of the larger ones shooting to the sky:

We enjoyed our family time together on New Year’s Eve, and watching the colours brighten the sky.
Do you enjoy watching firework displays in the night sky?
