10th annual fireworks extravaganza at ClintH and LillianH's house!

For the last 10 years Lillian and I have had a block party where all the neighbors come out to watch about 2-3 hrs worth of insanity with fireworks.

This year I did a cost per pound analysis of the fireworks.
We had around 100lbs total. Cost per pound came to around $5.00. :)

The images were taken by my good friend Tapps with his KILLER Fuji S2 Pro 6.53mp camera. (Shaweeettt!)

Just getting started. These are shots taken before got going full force...Notice how nice and clean the court is!
I have a custom made rocket launched. I designed and constructed it about 4 years back. We got tired of bottles tipping over. Its a wooden base with 2" PVC launcher tubes with vent holes. One tube is 1.5' and the other is 3.5' tall.

These are some time laps images (6-8 seconds) of the fireworks.

The aftermath! (We cleaned up the next morning...)
We started around 9:00pm and ended around 11:40.
I was exhausted.
The bottom 2 images are time laps looking back towards my house in the woods with all the smoke from the fireworks.
I thought they looked pretty cool so I included them.

LillianH and I wish you all a happy holiday!

LOL, what a lot of fun you had! I'm pretty sure I heard all of it, too. Let's see...you began around June 26 shooting off just a couple each day, then really laid it on thick Friday night, yet still had plenty to carry on most of Saturday night and a good part of Sunday. Yep, I heard all of it up north. ;)

Looks as if you set the neighborhood on fire. Burn down the neighbor's houses. Great fun!

Something To Do At 3:00AM 

Darn it, I'm jealous. In my neighborhood, fireworks are illegal (too many old Victorian wooden houses.) Still, I made a lot of people happy with a mega-bar-b-que, so it was a good Fourth. A happy one to you Clint and Lillian and my fellow Yanks, if belatedly. It looks like you put on a great show for your neigbhors. :-) Love them pyrotechnicals.

Looks a pretty darn good time there CLint. :) Lots of fun :)

Insanity is a waking state...Darkness is a being...Want To Play.........heheheheh
