Australia Day Fireworks

Nice Timing

They have done a good job of putting out a decent fireworks display this year for the Australia Day.

This is my first time I took shots of a fireworks display so a I hope you like it.

This was taken in Canberra on the foreshores of the Lake Burley Griffin.

It is a very neat (in the meaning of classical) picture, everything is fine.
But the colors in the middle of the big firework are somewhat dull. Like it.
