    Australia Presents Fireworks

    Every year during the summer, Montreal hosts an international fireworks competition.

    Last Saturday was Australia's presentation.

    Here is a link to the finale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3fmjAD66v8

    It is about 5 minutes long.

    The beginning and middle clips are also on youtube and the links can be found, of all places, within the thread about the weather.

    I thought it was a fabulous display and hope you guys like it, too.

    I wished they display fireworks here like that on the forth of July. I sit
    and watch these yahoos send them up one at a time dragging for a
    long time and I get bored.

    Thanks for sharing this, Stephen

    Very illuminating display of fireworks, especially the huge red glow at the end.
    It was fun to watch in full screen mode

    As a Sydneysider, to be quite honest, if I don't see another fireworks display it won't be too soon ... (slightly bitter and twisted I know)

    Thanks for the fireworks vids, gc; my favourites are the ones that have a different colour at the ends of their explosions, like at :32 of the second vid in the weather thread (blue at the tips of the white.) The sphere within a sphere effect is cool as well.

    CD, you're not far off the mark with that one. You'll see in one of the next threads I start...

    Rojo, I quite agree. I thought those with the blue tips were especially cool. And the shapes from hearts to disks, very impressive.
