I've seen bullrushes with their cylindrical brown seed heads as well as those which have already exploded, but never before one which is in the process of exploding. Taken at Mill Lake in Abbotsford. BC (09-02-11-4485)
WEBN Riverfest Fireworks in Cincinnati Ohio on Sunday, August 31st, 2014. Fireworks by Rozzi Famous Fireworks. A shell exploded early as you can see with the explosion near the barge.
This tree was quite a sight to see. It's explosion knocked down many other trees near it and for 100 yards in all directions there were pieces of the tree.
One morning, around 10 AM, I was walking my dog when I saw what looked like a white van belching fire and smoke from underneath the engine. While I was walking by, though, an owner ran frantically to the van and moved it, to reveal that the smoke was in fact blowing from underground - a manhole cover. Nervous, I hurried my dog upstairs (this was taking place pretty much directly across the street from my apartment building). Moments after I got upstairs, there was an explosion, and I called 911 (as, apparently, had many others) to report a fire. It was the first time in my life I'd ever dialed 911 to report an emergency (though I'd dialed once before after a minor car accident).
I had to leave not long after, and as I did, 171st was covered in a pall of smoke, and it was roped off - only residents were allowed to go by. The manhole cover was gone, and smoke and flames were bellowing out of the hole in the ground. It's a good thing that dude moved his van! Anyway, being oh-so-attached to my camera, and being, as it were, on the scene - I've never lived so close to something like that before! - I snapped a few shots as best I could.
