Celebration of Light 2010 – Night 3

Frederick Linsmeyer • July 29, 2010 • Local, Photography

Mexico delights the crowds

The beaches were packed as Mexico took the stage, err, barge, during the third evening of the Celebration of Light. The crowd cheered on a magnificent performance by Lux Pirotecnia that lit up English Bay.

This time I sat with a group of friends on the rocks by the inukshuk on the beach and was able to capture some truly spectacular pictures of the fireworks. Sadly, a few last minute stragglers blocked my friend (who has the better camera and full tripod), so she wasn’t able to take any photos.

There’s only one more night left to the Celebration of Light – a tribute to China, on Saturday, July 31^st, 2010. Head down to English Bay to catch the last pyrotechnical show of the year over the water.

Spain lighting up the sky

Spain put on an amazing show for the second night of the Celebration of Light fireworks festival. The evening was bathed in dazzling colours that lit up the darkened skies and wowed the crowds along English Bay.

If you missed the show, take a look at some of the photos taken from my spot on the sea wall. These turned out much better considering I used a mini tripod to help steady the camera.

Mexico will take to the skies next on Wednesday, July 28^th, followed by China on Saturday, July 31^st.

Both Mother Nature and South Africa wowed Vancouverites with a double show over English Bay.
