Saturday Snapshots – Santa Marta Fuochi d'Artificio - Santa Marta Firework Display 2011

 

The Santa Marta celebrations which started with the Santa Marta Processione ended with a tremendous Firework Display over the lake at 11pm on July 29th. No words are needed, the photos and videos say it all.

Finally a selection of our video experimental films of the fireworks, all very short but they give a better impression of the event than the still photos.   I hope you will enjoy if you have a few minutes to spare.

     

    

 

If you enjoyed these and would like to see more Firework photos and videos they can be viewed in my Flickr.com albums. Fireworks Santa Marta 2011 and last years at Santa Marta Fireworks 2010

    Linda these photos are fantastic, they are really stunning. I like the second picture best but they are all excellent. I have missed every fireworks display here this year, either in the UK or the night Nigel arrived he was too tired :-( Take care Diane

    Oh wow! These are stunning. I last saw fireworks like these in France for the 14th July.
    Lovely photos and I really like the videos.
    I have been trying to find some virtual fireworks for my blog-pity I can't find any like these.

    Thank you for a great show. Because of our nanny state we are only allowed fireworks on November 5 and December 31.

    Great celebration! Recently we also had a stunning fireworks display here in Venice, during the "Festa del Redentore"! You'd have to see it sometimes.
