Snowfall



It's snowing when it's warm. I see a beautiful blue sky only when it's chilly.

It's ambivalent, isn't it?



     


Have a wonderful weekend.

Dance Booze Dance Booze...

This is the part two entry of New Year's Eve in Olomouc. Part one entry is here.


Soon after the frenzy of fireworks, it was time to dance. It was past midnight and more than 99.99% of them were drunk. No kids, no policemen, but no crimes, no fighting.


But still, people were sensible enough to pile their empty wine cups up in the trash bin, which was reaching to the same height as The Holy Trinity Column!

Where is our DJ?
Crowds were waiting for the DJ and he eventually appeared with a cup of wine! But who cares?

I'm here but let me just finish my wine
Let's dance!


and empty another bottle of booze.


You have a choice of leaving your empty bottle intact,



or crash on the ground!


Alternatively, you could have this occasion with a sweet memory...

A Happy New Year


Happy New Year!

You see, it's getting common to have fireworks on New Year's Eve. I went downtown to take photos. In fact, I could see and smell massive amounts of explosive chemicals. I mean "a lot" and "everywhere"...



I had Panny 7-14 mm/F4 lens with me. It's an ultra wide-angle zoom lens that is equivalent to 14-28 mm in full frame (Leica 35mm film format). I really enjoyed shooting fireworks at 7 mm (14 mm equivalent).



Now you know what I meant. Fireworks were launching from everywhere in any direction you can possibly imagine (A), If you keep your face up to the sky, then you got to watch your steps. Fireworks are rolling on the ground (B). Relatively small-sized local explosions were everywhere, too (C). Some were launched off just a few meters away from you (D). Well, many of them were actually exploding over your head. Debris kept falling incessantly from above your head because the wind was against us (D). It's been quite noisy there. I heard nothing related to the countdown of the coming year 2013...

Please note that Column in (A) has been in a UNESCO World Heritage List since 2000! Obviously, in (A) some shots were heading toward The Holy Trinity Column - a symbol (great pride) of the city, Olomouc.


Fireworks sparkling right above your head!
Well, it was a very noisy and explosive New Year's Eve. I really had fun. A LOT!!!




By the way, did you notice the moon behind Town Hall?
