Fireworks

15 August 2010
This is a big date in southern Europe, when the church celebrates the assumption of the Virgin into heaven. Here, directly after midnight, there was a massive fireworks display. You can see how still it was from the reflection of the explosions in the water, in the bottom part of the picture.
We had a spectacular view from the cockpit, and were astonished that there were no other boats out. Not even little sports boats just out for the display. Fantastic!
