Fire in the Sky – Mother Nature’s Celebration of Light
Image by Cinder Hella 86'er
Mother Nature had other plans for Vancouver’s Celebration of Light tonight. She just had to show South Africa up and steal their thunder :P .
The storm began tonight around 6pm, with deep rumbles of thunder setting a grim mood. At least we got in a long day at Spanish Banks. By 7pm it was pouring out, and I was feeling bad for all the thousands of people who came down here tonight and setting up on Spanish Banks, Kits Beach, Vanier Park, Sunset Beach and English Bay (where the show goes down). Not to mention all the boats in the bay and planes that circle the area to watch from a birds-eye-view.
The lightning began around 830pm-ish I think? The sky was an ominous deep orange for a while turning to pinks and purples. The show went on strong till about 10pm; now with the accompaniment of the the fireworks. It was quite a scene, all around my apartment I heard shouts of amazement-far more excited oohs and ahhhs than you hear at the man-made light shows. My apartment faces towards the mountains, and that’s St. Paul’s Hospital with the majority of strikes around it. I wish I was down at English Bay or Sunset to get the full effect!
Until I can get the video I filmed off the camera, it’s 15 mins long..here’s some photos I managed to snap. Too bad I didn’t catch the bolts that ran horizontally higher in the sky, those can be seen on the video.
