Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
We start piling wood and odds and ends onto our bonfire from the beginning of the year so by the time bonfire night comes around, it is huge! We have all of the neighbourhood coming over to add their unwanted furniture etc just before it is set to be lit.
Technically, this is cheating as I took this at last year's Bonfire Night, but I hope it will still serve to go along with my best wishes for a happy 2013 for all of you!
A small collection of images from many - just a taste of the evening It was such fun. My favourite image from last night - the red glow of the flares set off last night.
Happened to be in London on Bonfire Night. A great firework display over Battersea Power Station (maybe you can just make out the chimneys through the smoke).
There were 50,000 people in the park but managed to get down the front. Wasn't allowed to use the tripod so relieved no camera shake hand-holding. Hopeless task choosing just one!
Reminded me of the horror going on elsewhere in the world but that's another story.
I decided to brave the horrid wet weather we have been experiencing to visit a local firework display . Even with an unbrella , I couldn't protect the lens from the rain and I found myself continually having to wipe the lens and in doing so , missed an aweful lot of great shots .
This was my best effort from the visit .
