Happy New Year! (7 pictures)

As I found out last year, New Year's Eve (known locally as Sylwester because it is Saint Silvester's Day) ends with a bang in Poland.  The fireworks that you can legally buy here as a civilian is shocking compared to what we are used to in most (if not all) of the United States.

I managed to grab some pictures this year that came out (unlike last year).  Unfortunately they all have the power lines for the tram running across the picture because the pictures that came out were of fireworks on the other side other side of the bridge I was standing on.  I also have a video, but I need to figure out how to reduce the size because it's around 275MB and I can't upload it here when it's that big.  If I figure out how I will update this post.

Remember, these are all personal fireworks.  And there are so many of them that people have bought that they get set off for hours.  I was able to see some going off not long after it got dark around 5pm.


Anyway, enjoy the pictures.  I hope you had a safe and happy New Year.
