This is actually a photo, taken during the fireworks on the 4th of July. I've tweaked it heavily in Photoshop with saturation on blue, green and yellow colors and then used selective colors to adjust what I could. The final touch was the filter for glowing edges and a tiny bit of sharpening.
Definition of pizzazz: "an attractive combination of energy and style".
I really like the nearly 4 mb version best, but thought I'd not put that online as it could slow down viewer computers. The best view is definitely the original size on this abstract composition.

Magellan's Cross, on the Island of Cebu
Ferdinand Magellan was the first European to come to the Philippines in 1521. Also known as Fernao Magalhaes or Fernando Magallanes, he was a Portuguese navigator working for the King of Spain in search of the spice islands (now part of Indonesia, known as Maluku or Moluccas islands). When he and his crews landed on Cebu island, a native chief, Rajah Humabon, met and befriended him. Rajah Humabon, his wife and hundreds of his native warriors agreed to accept Christianity and were consequently baptized.
Magellan planted a cross to signify this important event about the propagation of the Roman Catholic faith in what is now Cebu, in central Philippines. The original cross is reputedly encased in another wooden cross for protection, as people started chipping it away in the belief that it had miraculous healing powers. This prompted the government officials to encase it in tindalo wood and secured it inside a small chapel called "kiosk." Some say, however, that the original cross was actually destroyed. The Magellan cross displayed here is said to be a replica of such cross. It is housed in a small chapel located in front of the present city hall of Cebu, along Magallanes Street (named in honor of Magellan).
Sadly, Magellan met his death under the hands of another Visayan chief, Lapu-Lapu, when he went to the nearby island of Mactan. Mactan is also part of today's Metropolitan Cebu. There, both the statues of Magellan and Lapu-Lapu proudly stand to commemorate the tragic meeting of east and west in this part of the world.
It took another 45 years (1565) before Cebu was visited again by another European. Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, under orders from King Philip of Spain, came and made Cebu the first capital of the Spanish colony known as Las Islas Filipinas.

Making adjustments to our digital video and audio recording equipment for the school concert at Monash University. Took a while to work out what was causing the hum, then we finally figured out it was the dirty electrical power. The white box that solved the problem above was a UPS we 'loaned" from a school file server. Spot the yellow asbestos sticker on the wall.
