Paniyiri!

Brisbane's premier Greek culture festival was held this weekend in my local park, with plenty of feta and olives (and any other Greek cliches you can think of) to pass around. The festival is an annual celebration that causes traffic chaos and usually brings with it rainy weather, it is however capped off by a closing ceremony fireworks show on the Sunday night. As I quickly discovered, taking photos of fireworks is extraordinarily difficult if you a) have a tree directly between where you set up and the display or worse b) have people with point and shoot cameras leaving the flash on trying to take a similar picture (not really sure what they are trying to illuminate there?). Anyhow I managed to capture this below of the Brisbane skyline and the smoke from the fireworks drifting away;
