But since I had no form I could feel all possible forms in myself, and all actions and expressions and possibilities of making noises, even rude ones. In short, there were no limitations to my thoughts, which weren't thoughts, after all, because I had no brain to think them; every cell on its own thought every thinkable thing all at once, not through images, since we had no images of any kind at our disposal, but simply in that indeterminate way of feeling oneself there, which did not prevent us from feeling ourselves equally there in some other way.

These photos are failures from a strictly technical standpoint: a tripod (which I didn't have at the time) is required for really good photos of fireworks displays; I decided to steady my camera as much as possible, and hope for the best—one or two might turn out. They did turn out, in fact, but not in the way I was hoping. The photographs in this set are as imperfect as they are perfect, and reveal an unexpected beauty in the night sky that is truly captivating in a way that's difficult to describe.
I decided to pair each photo with a passage from one of Calvino's Cosmicomic stories, many of which are recounted by Qfwfq, an omnipresent, timeless, protean narrator. Each Cosmicomic story is fun, compelling, and extremely inventive, while presenting a version of reality that is completely obvious and (un)commonplace.

"You know something? Last night I dreamed that a Dinosaur was to go past my house," Fern-flower said to me, "a magnificent Dinosaur, a Prince or a King of Dinosaurs. I made myself pretty, I put a ribbon on my head, and I leaned out of the window. I tired to attact the Dinosaur's attention, I bowed to him, but he didn't even seem to notice me, didn't even deign to glance at me..."

Roger Water performed his final concert of 2012 at Les Plaines d'Abraham in Quebec City. This photo shows you the massive opening fireworks at the beginning of the show. The shot was taken from the other side of the St-Lawrence River and shows the beauty of the city along with the amazing fireworks from the concert. This is a night a lot of people will never forget!
Roger Waters a terminé sa tournée 2012 sur les Plaines d'Abraham à Québec. La photo montre l'énorme feu d'artifice qui a sonné le début du spectacle. La photo a été prise de l'autre côté du fleuve St-Laurent pour mettre en valeur la beauté de la ville durant ce merveilleux événement. C'est une soirée que les habitants de Québec n'oublieront pas!
Thx for your generosity and great show, Hungary! - Hope we’ll succeed in giving you as much when invited/going to your country!
Merci de votre générosité et magnifique spectacle, Hongrie - J’espère que nous réussirons à vous en offrir autant, si nous sommes invités et allons en votre pays!
Feux d'artifice du 21 juillet 2016 - Grand Parc d'Enghien
Un feu d'artifice est un procédé pyrotechnique utilisant des explosifs déflagrants visant à produire du son, de la lumière et de la fumée à l'aide de composés chimiques pour produire différents effets et couleurs. Les feux d'artifices sont originaires de Chine où ils ont été développés à partir de la poudre noire avant d'être importés en Europe, où divers alchimistes et pyrotechniciens ont participé à leur développement. Ils sont souvent utilisés dans des spectacles pyrotechniques (fêtes nationales, jour de l'an, événements, etc.).
Artifice vient du latin artificium qui signifie art.
La définition de feu d’artifice a changé au cours du temps, décrivant d’abord des spectacles sonores, puis se restreignant ensuite à la définition actuelle. - Wikipedia

Not one of my best fireworks shoot but I like it anyway. This one was hard to shoot because the there were rockets alternatively high in the sky and very low near the ground. I could not aim at both so I choosed to shoot only the high ones. This photo is not perfectly framed but is one of the best of the sequence.
