How's Summer doing there?
Here in Nagano, stepping in of September means the going out of Summer.
Bear decided that we catch the final fireworks of Summer last weekend. I couldn't be more pleased! =D
We got so much to thank the Lord for a splendid night out!! Smooth traffic flow, discovery of good bento ( 弁当、 packet food ) and good spot for pitching our picnic mat. Last but not least, an angry rain that raided shortly after the fireworks display. It would have been such a let down from above if rain descended during the fireworks show.
I don't know about you though... To me, fireworks hint romance. Fireworks remind me of a scene in Romeo and Juliet ( 1996 ), where the innocent young hearts fell in love at first sight under the fireworks galore. I don't want to know what fate Shakespeare has dictated for the star-crossed lovers, I merely wish to indulge in that magical moment... the ecstasy of falling in love... Tell me I'm not the only hopeless romantic around!

Fireworks... their beauty is so terribly shortlived. I guess pictures can never be good enough to capture the gorgeous moment anyway.
As we left to get the car, the Bear said in his boyish fervour ' I would like to catch it again next year! '
.
' Umm... we'll see.. ' said me. ;)

Have a brilliant week, with everything falling in nice and timely. =)

Again, we are so blessed to be able to share your wonderful photos. Can I just be bold and ask you a question? What are you doing at home?? You should be out there amongst the professional photographers earning big "mulah"!!
wow! that sunset (or rise?) is fantastic!! great catch, stardust!
and i love your fireworks shots! the fireworks you see are a bit different than ours here in the States... some are the same, but you have some beautiful different shapes and patterns and colors (like fireworks photos #3,4,5). the multicolored one is wonderful, and i love the one that looks like white weeping willow trees. mmm. i bet they were amazing in person!
thanks for sharing...:)
wow dear! these fireworks are stuning! here is hot but it won't last long as rain is approching and the autumn is coming..:-D but I'm happy anyway!
I have you..kisses!

こんばんわ、stardustさん
神秘的な、空の光は、世界を朝へと、変化させる。
花火は、ロマンチックで、ロミオとジュリエットの場面を、象徴する、ひとときの素晴らしさの後の、さみしさを、花火の後に感じますね。
ちょっと、センチメンタル。
すばらしき、シェークスピアの世界は、時代を超え、いろんな形で、私達に、メッセージを与えてくれます。
来年の今月、今夜のこの月に、花火をまた見たいものだわ。
ちょっと、日本の文学から尾崎紅葉風に締めてみました。：D
