Amazing firework displays. I didn’t see any this year. It was a nice, quiet New Year’s Eve. 🙂

Fantastic shots! We didn’t have fireworks this year, I’ve been busy writing every spare minute trying to get this book done (I;ve missed my deadline – eek!) Hope your New Years was great!

yes, listening to New Year’s fireworks gives a
