Celebration of light

Each year Vancouver hosts the “Celebration of light”. Hundreds of thousands of people invade the beaches and watch on their sailboats or on Stanley park.

It basically is a fireworks competition between the USA, Spain, Mexico and China that goes on for 2 weeks. Our balcony turned out to be the perfect spot to take some amazing pictures. Today it was “Team USA’s” turn and there will be 3 more fire works in the next 2 weeks.

To be honest, after spending 2 Month in China in the middle of the crazy Chinese New Year Fire Works which lasted for 3 weeks, I am confident that when it’s China’s turn next week they’ll nuke Vancouver into a gazillion parts with their fancy chop stick rockets.
