I remembered the last time Team Spain was in Vancouver, three years ago, they had a pretty solid performance. This year with them winning the World Cup, I wondered what they would do to “celebrate” their victory (or even add to that)!
Yesterday’s shows was themed “Hell & Heaven”, and it included quite a few familiar music. After the show, my thought was “I haven’t seen anything quite like it at English Bay.” Their fireworks were choreographed in sync with their up and down music beautifully, and the way they used the majority of the sky, was pretty rare. I remember being wow’ed and getting the goosebumps a couple of times during the performance, especially towards the end when they used so many colours without overdoing it. There’s a pretty good YouTube video showing the last few minutes. I hope Mexico has something up their sleeves next Wednesday!
And I realized that there’s nothing quite like the experience than in English Bay – despite the growing crowd every year!

看完 Youtube 的影片之後,
更加覺得照煙火實在太難了啦!
再怎麼璀璨的煙火,從射向天空 到爆炸消失,
大概只有三秒鐘的時間,
還要排除煙霧的阻擋…..
只能說非常謝謝你跟我們分享這麼棒的煙火紀錄!
Thank you so much, SAM~!!!

其實最近幾年我去看煙火時都很掙扎,要不要帶照相機去。不帶的話當然可以慢慢enjoy the fireworks, 但是每次都想到說沒有來看的人真可惜.. 還有一些人跟我講說一定要照! @@
每年到煙火季節照片的回應都變多。說真的,如果沒有大家的鼓勵和朋場,我也不會像現在那麼常post!
所以要說謝謝的人是我!
Thank you!
