Hour Of Madness

Shortly after midnight, on the terrace, glass of Sekt in hand watching the sky explode with fireworks. So attempt to photograph said sky. You just wouldn't believe how many times I managed to blip only the darkness....

Last night was different to last year. Last year there was the occasional firework in the run up to midnight and then all hell broke loose. This year it was pretty much a constant bombardment from the moment it got dark until about 2 in the morning with an extra special concentration of fireworks from 12 until 1ish. The amount of smoke was incredible.

It was all a bit too much for Moot though, he ended up hiding in amongst all the pullovers. He came out after the worst of the explosions were over but he was a bit skittish, poor wee thing.

Oh and a special word of thanks to the Arschloch* who set off the really loud fireworks at 8 this morning - that really was an arschig thing to do.

*It means exactly what you think it means
