New Year's Eve 2009 Fireworks

It is often heard at New Year's Eve celebrations that "last year's was better..." The good-old-days syndrome, when the past was always better than the present. Always.

And if the doom sayers are even partially right about this economic recession (or should I say, depression), then you don't need to be a Nostradamus to predict that this year's fireworks display will most certainly be better than the next.





Spectacular displays like this may prove to be simply a reminder of better times in the not too distant future. Let's enjoy it while we can.


Speaking of enjoyment, I really got a blast (pun intended) from my neighbor's fireworks that mimicked an effect from the movie Platoon. It sure looked like the tracer effect (was the film trying to mimic tracers?) in the last battle scene.
