Last night the annual Opening of the Season fireworks took place at Hobie Beach after it was postponed due to rainy weather the previous night. I really didn’t feel like taking on the crowds and traffic jams on the beachfront for a couple of pictures, so I decided to head up to Lovemore Heights to see if I can get a glimpse from there. It wasn’t the best vantage point as you could only see the high fireworks from there, but I wasn’t alone. There were quite a few people there with me who didn’t want to do the crowd thing.
I’ve not mastered taking photo’s of fireworks as yet, so am very impressed with these photos!!
Great fireworks pics. Have a nice summer holiday.
great photos……Gill in Canada
Lovely! Wonderful Sky Watch.
Awesome skywatch shot, thanks for sharing.Cheers!Regina In Picturesps….I added your blog to my followers list so I can return often to see more of your great work.
Awesome fireworks!! Better photos!
Awesome shot! Thanks for sharing!
These are outstanding. Not easy shots well done.
Amazing photos of the fireworks. This way I can appreciate them. I don’t myself like the loud bangs and my other dog always gets petrified. Over here the season of fireworks seems to span from mid December to mid February even if the law states otherwise. This is of course private people and especially kids with their bangers and such. Pain in the back side it is really. However viewed like this on these brilliant shots they do look very beautiful indeed.Whishing you happy sky watching and a very merry Xmas.
What an amazing fireworks photos!! I have never been in South Africa but everybody says is so beautiful! lucky you 🙂My blog
I’m just catching up with the gorgeous photographs on your fabulous blog. The white rhino is amazing!I am soooooo envious that summer is just starting down there. It is minus 9 in Port Alberni, on Vancouver Island where I grew up. Tomorrow it will be minus 17 in Vancouver with the wind chill.So I am going to visit your blog every day for the next little while, and absorb some of that wonderful South African sunshine!I hope you and your family have a wonderful Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.Cheers!
Great shots! Good to hear the rugrats enjoyed them 🙂 Love your pier images…I agree there is something about the sepia one.
What beautiful photographs. I see that I have a setting on my little camera for taking shots of fireworks. Haven’t had the opportunity though, but am dying to try. In-laws live in PE – wonder if they popped past to see the display!?
Great fireworks shots! Happy Christmas!
Aww, I do miss the Opening of the Season – it used to be a summer highlight when I was a teenager. Great shots – fireworks are so tricky!
Ooh! I love fireworks and these are fantastic shots! Love them!Happy Sky Watching!

Happy New Year! 2009 Fireworks showhttp://fireworks2009.blogspot.com/http://vitas-vitas.blogspot.com/
Quite agree. One does not need traffic stress.
Not a bad vantage point. I don't really like crowds either.
Cool pic Firefly
what is the name of the song that the dj played during the firework display?
Sorry Anonymous. I wasn't there so I wouldn't know. Perhaps contact the guys at Go Big Events. They may be able to find out for you.
