All Sparks Flying - Winter Fireworks at Docklands

Australia Day at Docklands

My heart felt like dancing!!

Fireworks!

Went to Dockland's Victoria Harbour last night, Friday, with my daughter, Florence. I was simply getting excited in anticipation of the spectacular fireworks display at Bolte Bridge. Complete with my camera gear which includes a tripod, canon 5D Mark II, canon 50mm lens, and a remote control shutter release, I positioned the camera to face the middle of the bridge at the harbour near the fabled cow sculpture. Had to take public transport from work at around 5:30pm then took another tram from the city to the location. We got lost once and had to go back to the city then before winding up our way to Etihad Stadium where we saw Sandy, the channel 9 newscaster and a lot of footy fans who were there for a big footy match last night. Finally reaching at 6:30pm I had a sigh of relief as there was still a need to scout for a good vantage point to mount my tripod, etc. Then at a quarter to 7:00, a friend arrived, had a bit of a chat and then the fireworks started at 7:05pm....

Kong Xi Fatt Choi! - Year of the Rabbit

the chinese new year celebrations in the city is one of the many interesting events in melbourne that we look forward to every year...there's the hawkers' bazaar where you get the chance to sample mouth-watering asian dishes in the stalls... then, a stage is purposelly built just for the dance, singing and acrobatic performances which are held either at crown  in southbank or china town in little bourke street....
though it was drizzling last saturday night, nothing could dampen the excitement of the crowd while watching the lion and dragon dance, most especially the spectacular fireworks display.....kong xi fatt choi!
