Description

I fiddled with this one in photoshop, and gave the HDR program a try.
Sydney CBD and harbour foreshores was the venue for the cities New Year’s fireworks display last night. During 3 sessions, over 7 tonnes of fireworks filled the sky. It is estimated that well over 1 million Sydneysiders and tourists witnessed the event!
Happy New Year to all the staff and my friends on BP.
