Fireworks in Vancouver

Awesome. And right in front of my balcony! My feeble cameraphone snapshot bears no resemblance to the real thing (check Flickr for better photos)

Four nights of spectacular fireworks set to music, in a competition between Canada, Sweden, and China - the grand finale took place this Saturday. Sweden won, which makes me feel quite (semi) patriotic: technically they were superior, and had some amazing pyrotechnic effects. But they had the most uninspired choice of music (Abba-medley?), poor composition, and created no emotional response at all. They deserve better artistic direction (or whatever it's called for fireworks).
