Fire works for me

Saturday evening I was treated to a fantastic fireworks show although I have to admit that I still have no idea what it was in celebration of. One of the hotel staff told me that there was a deck on the 11th floor that would overlook the bridge where the show was, and that it would start at 10pm. As an added bonus there was also a good view of the Just For Laughs festival that was being held nearby.



I had checked out the view earlier in the day and got to see a guy fired out of a cannon in the festival. I would have gotten a picture of it, but I don't know how to say "Hey, we are about to fire a guy out of a cannon!" in French, so it was just by coincidence that I even saw it.

I headed back up just before 10 and was surprised to see that there were only a handful of other people on the deck. The show started right at 10 and lasted for a full half hour.



This photo in no way shows the magnitude of the show, but it was the only really good exposure I got that didn't look the the photo had been taken just after I dropped the camera. Suffice it to say that you had to be there, and it was fantastic.
