Fireworks

Two nights ago celebrating the end of the new years celebrations there were fireworks everywhere, mostly sound-based ones – at first I thought it was coordinated, then found out it was just private citizens lighting fireworks pretty much everwhere. Only that could explain how they could be going on for hours… Many were thrown out of windows, someone nearby had a display going on a narrow footpath, your choice was either wait, or run!

But it seems there are reasons for the regulation that stops this sort of fun back home. Quite sad as a fireman died.
