Fireworks 2009

Fantastic, beautiful, loud and not long enough - that's what I thought of last nights fireworks on the river. I took a million pictures (give or take 900,000 or so) but wasn't particularly interested in capturing it on video, as I did last year.



I think the pictures turned out really well, visit the gallery and see for yourself

Enjoy!

RedBull Air Race

Day one and the city was buzzing with excitement.
There was so much going on downtown.
We had a great time and managed to get some nice pictures of the race (some bird's eye view as well) - a quick lunch at Peppers and a casual stroll about town before we called it a day.

Take a peek at the pics in the gallery

Any complaints? Yes, the cost of admission to Carousel
Didn't that used to be free?
