Those are such pretty photos. We used to have...Wow. Those are such pretty photos. We used to have fireworks displays in our garden for Guy Fawkes when we were younger (SA kept up it's British heritage in this respect for a while). While I love how pretty they can be, my attitude towards fireworks is mixed. They tried to have them banned in my area a few years back because of the way they upset animals (and I have seen firsthand how some dogs get very upset by the loud bangs). The attempt failed because fireworks are considered an important part of the Hindu Festival of Light. While Guy Fawkes celebrations have fizzled out, fireworks are still plentiful at Diwali and New Year. I just wish they would make them less noisy, then I would enjoy them a lot more.<br /><br />Oh, and Happy Birthday America ;-)<br /><br />Ajnos >'.'<Ajnos Gamgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847479825646638118noreply@blogger.com
