English Bay
Monday, July 28
The Celebration of Light is an annual fireworks competition held over English Bay in Vancouver, BC. Three countries competed this year: China, the USA, and Canada. All of these pictures are from Canada's program. I wasn't able to make it to any of the others. The Canadian display was based upon the Godzilla theme. There was more than 30 minutes of constant fireworks complete with a "we're under attack" radio broadcast and synchronized music.
Some 100,000 people attend this event, and transportation is a nightmare! I rode the Skytrain to a friend's condo (right off the water) and we walked down to the beach (a 3-minute walk) where we watched the fireworks. I was able to get a front-row seat right on the edge of the water (without any heads in front of me...) I spent the night at his place because it would have taken me hours to get home.
All-in-all, it was an awesome experience, and one I hope to repeat someday! Here's a few more pictures. I'll keep adding them as I get them edited, so check back.

These pics are so awesome!
I have a question, will sand mess up a digital camera? I have been having trouble with an error message popping up on my camera and it seems to be a problem with memory card. The first time it happened it messed up my memory card and now after I took a ton of pics with my Grandparents I haven't seen in ages it has done it again and I don't know what on earth is wrong with my camera? I take it with me to the beach so that is the only thing really I can think of that hasn't been good but other than that I've taken it to the beach for at least a year now and it has only recently started giving me trouble. :( Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? :(
