Hey! What about Canada Day?
@Canada Girl- Sorry for leave Canada out! We weren’t out there to offer a complete guide just to post some fun pictures from across the globe. Don’t worry, we’ll be posting more on Canada soon enough.
This reminds me…do you know that the first fireworks recorded in America were set off by an Englishman, Captain John Smith? (famous in the story of Pocahontas)
And the first fireworks were probably made in China around 2,000 years ago. Chinese crackers are still used today for celebration, weddings, and to ward off evil spirits.
I agree that fireworks in Singapore is good. But there are definitely better places for fireworks. I think fireworks in Hong Kong are just as good or better because of Victoria Harbour and the skyline.
I like your memorial day review.
cool picxxs
i love the fireworks taken by Docklandsboy. It look so cool. Never seen this type of fire works before.
