Happy Canada Day! Fun day even though it rained a bit and was cold. I can’t believe it was so cold. It’s summer and it’s cold. I probably would have complained how hot it was if it were sunny and hot like last year. I prefer it like this, though it was cold. I was very disappointed with the fireworks. Big time! They lasted about 15 seconds or so and the show was over. There was a light show before that and singers and such but I understand only the people who sat directly in front of the 10×10 stage could see it well. Not cool… not cool at all. This is the only shot I took of the fireworks in front of the lake. Here’s to Day 258 Canada Day. I’ll have to check how things are looking over the border in a couple of days. Maybe there’s more luck with the fireworks there.

Strobist info: 580 EX into 43′ umbrella CR via PW and 580 EX II CL zoomed to 80mm (may have not fired this time).

This needs no introduction. I have made some other photographs that show the actual location better and to the disappointment of many, a big fence is surrounding the cauldron. People can only take pictures through the holes of the fence or by climbing on objects to get a shot above the tall fence.

Note: if your RSS reader did not grab the image please go to the site and see it. It is probably because I embedded it differently this time. Here goes day 121 – the 2010 Winter Olympic Cauldron.
