Canada Day 2009 Fireworks
Thursday, July 2, 2009 5:57 | 190 viewsI hate to say it but I wasn’t entirely impressed with this years fireworks celebration for Canada’s 142nd Birthday.
It was short, and the pyrotechnics were really lame. The ones people bought from the corner stores and shot them off on the other side of the river were almost better.
There was one point where they shot off a bunch of white candlestick ones that lasted for about a minute and a half. I was sitting there, jaw dropped open, wondering, “what the hell is this shit?”
There were some nice ones, but the crappy ones outweighed the good ones. Most of them were just tiny explosions of sparkling colors. I like the ones that go way up and explode lighting up the entire area. There were maybe 4 or 5 of those ones.
I left feeling ripped off. I wish I didn’t waste my time walking all the way there for that boring show.
You would figure they would spend some good money on the Nations Birthday. I mean C’mon!
I took some pictures but, like last year, I used the fireworks setting on my camera and as you can see it doesn’t do a great job. Next time I’m going to use the night settings and stay away from the fireworks settings. You would figure a fireworks setting for taking pictures of fireworks would work huh? LOL

Awww, sorry your fireworks display was disappointing for you. I still hope you had a nice Canada Day though! I actually think your photos are kind of cool. I’m sorry I’ve been absent over here lately but I wanted to tell you that I did try to come over a few days ago and it was taking forever and I couldn’t get your site to load but that maybe was part of the tech difficulties you were having with your host or something. So, just so you know, I did actually try to get over here earlier.
I start missing your crazy posts after a while.

@teeni – They probably blame the cheap show on the economy. Which would explain it.
Just take your vacation and get your butt back here more often. There will be no excuses once you’re all rested up.

@Other Mac – They were probably better than the ones here in Fredericton.
