Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony Fireworks - Very not 56k friendly

I took some pictures last night showing the lights and colours of the Commonwealth Games and the City of Melbourne. Some impressive setups. Those who are not familiar with the games that were held here, we had some gigant floating fish that sat on the river that goes down past the stadium where the main event was held. Well enjoy the pictures.

You have some great material here to play with over the next few days. Congratulations to your City for the handling of the Games. It was much appreciated back in the "old" country.

Music: Yeah I bought my whole mobile kit with tripod etc but year it was kinda squishy toward the end there. I don't think there was a spare inch on the edge of the river.

Fangman: Thanks for your comments.

Great captures, looks like a very festive event. I like the fish shots
