Remember, Remember the fifth of November
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The Gunpowder, Treason and Plot.
I see no reason why the gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
These are some of the photos I took on the fifth of November this year, well known as Guy Fawkes Night in the UK, where we celebrate the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, where Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament along with King James I in 1605.
Every year the UK celebrates by having bonfires and by sending hundreds of fireworks into the sky, which can lead to many fantastic photos, I managed to take a few nice photos by holding my camera (with its 300mm lens) in my hands, which for time exposures is very hard to get a good photo!
Enjoy the ones I managed to take, and as always feel free to click for a larger image.
