Fire by the Bay









Its a little late for these fireworks to be updated but was really busy studing. Anyway, last weekend was the fireworks festival at marina bay. on friday was the spanish, and saturday, the chinese. The crowd was overwhelming and that was hardly any space to walk or sit from the merlion to the esplanade, and to the floating platform where NDP was held this year. The Shears bridge was close this year too.

The fireworks where delayed by 20mins from 9pm. But by 9.10, toy planes where flying around the floating stadium keeping some 27,000 spectators entertained just before shooting the firework. Had not any good pictures this year as i didnt use a tripod and there where trees and hands of cameras block my view.In fact i took less than 40 pics.

But overall the fireworks were fantasic. My personal favourite is when the let go a really loud one and the explosions just lights up the night sky. They where fired from buges from the bay's waters, and the shears brigde. Lights of red and yellow where the most common, i guess its because of china's national colour.
