Fireworks!

For the past week, I have been hearing some sounds which seems to be coming from outside that sounded like heavy machine sounds from the construction site nearby but it also sounded vaguely like fireworks. As I will usually hear them when I am preparing for bed (about 10pm), I don't bother checking them out. Rather I'm too scaredy-cat to draw open the curtains to see what they are, for fear of  some morbid monster I may find hovering around my windows (I blame it on Gary coz he's gone off and left me alone in the creaky house).

Anyway, I was waiting for Gary to call on this particular night, which was way past my bedtime, when I heard the sounds again. The curtains in the study room was drawn open so I just stood up a little to see what is going on, when I got my answer to the mysterious sounds.....

Fireworks!

... by the river (I like to call it a 'long kang' though)

It was beautiful and of course, I ran to get the camera and took some shots. Apparently fireworks here occur quite frequently and this one lasted for about 3 to 5 minutes.
