Ka-Boom!

Every lunar new year it is the same...although it seems to be getting bigger and bigger each year...the neighbors pull out the pyrotechnics and turn the neighborhood into Baghdad for a day.  It usually starts after 9pm and goes on for about an hour, from one house to the other. 

The first house to start the show was two doors down from us, so the explosions rocked our house and then you could see the trickle of sparks falling into the garden.  Back across to the other side for more (and they had the most and the best stuff too), then around to the side of us for some Roman candles off the rooftop.  On it went...irritating, but also pretty cool too. 

Happy New Year.
