You can see the snow coming out of their tails!

NICE!

I used to live in Kits so I would see the fireworks every time.  Now that the city is so expensive and I have moved out to the suburbs but still have to work DT, I just don't have the same urge to come in on weekends with a half million others to see 25 min of fire in the sky.

your photos bring back memories though.  Thanks for sharing!

I think you've got dust on your sensor,

I just thought those were some weird (big) birds or bugs in the sky  .....    and, of course, now, that all the "photos in/of the sky are done", I'll clean my sensor

nice photos BTW

Thanks Mike ... much appreciated

Cheers,

I know what you mean, I used to live in the West End about 1/2 a block from the Sylvia Hotel on Pendrell street

Now that the city is so expensive and I have moved out to the suburbs

Ditto, although, I only moved to Gastown ....

but still have to work DT,

Ditto ... I work at the camera store on Granville betwixt Nelson and Helmeken

I just don't have the same urge to come in on weekends with a half million others to see 25 min of fire in the sky.

Another ditto and I shot the Snowbirds from the Burrard Bridge

your photos bring back memories though. Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure and glad you enjoyed them
