Hanabi means flower fire in Japanese and the stills from my pictures actually do look like flowers.

hanabi
Recently I went to a hanabi (which is a fireworks festival) with my vice-principal and a few teachers. I have always loved fireworks but the ones in Japan are beyond comparison. They have perfected it to an art and the scale of the shows are massive. It was a great evening on the banks of the shinano river (longest in Japan) eating grocery store sushi and viewing the amazingfireworks.

After posting a lame picture of fireworks on my blog, Glen told me to check out your pictures. Very nice. Next time I will use my newly decovered 'firework' setting on my camera - though I will probably forgotten about it by then!
Wow, those are great pics! :) Wasn't it the Japanese who invented fireworks? Or was that the Chinese... I'll have to go google it now. :)
haha I have a firework setting as well Gareth but I don't think I used it. I was fairly close to the fireworks so that might have helped.
Chinese Shelley but I think the Japanese have perfected it.
