I was only home ten minutes for the Easter long weekend & my Sister calls me to say she's on her way to pick me up. A local shopping centre, The Southgate Plaza, has a fireworks display every year & they shoot them off the roof while everyone watches from the car park & this was her destination.

I've never heard about it & even after the event, there hasn't been a word said about it! It did happen however & by the number of people attending, it must have been mentioned somewhere. (After some googling, it officially called - The 8th Annual Sensational Sky Spectacular!)

Anyway, I was picked up, we collected some fish & chips on the way & then found prime car park real estate for the big show.

At a touch after nine, we were all welcomed over the PA system & fifteen minutes of fireworks were launched.







I've never had a camera on me during a fireworks display before, so it was good to finally capture some. They had to be zoomed shots otherwise the car park lights were all in the way. Click 'em for big versions.

With no announcement to end the show, everyone clambered into their cars & within ten minutes, the car park was nearly empty & probably a few minutes later, you'd be hard pressed to work out if anything had happened at all!
