Fireworks over Edinburgh Castle, Midnight Celebrations. Watercolour and “Christmas Glitter” on a watercolour Moleskine – an experiment. Taken with flash photgraphy to highlight glitter.
A guid New Year to ane an’ a’
An’ mony may ye see,
An’ during a’ the years to come,
O happy may ye be. (trad. Scots song)

Beautiful!!!
This afternoon I want to take some photos of the fireworks that welcome the Three Wise Men to my village. Now I know how can I paint it too!!!
But we don’t have fireworks for New Year. We just eat twelve grapes, and then we drink until the morning,…

Great idea Bob! This captures the moment nicely.
Mhuire…why 12 grapes?

One grape for every bell stroke in the midnight. For good luck in the new year. Old tradition here…

Thanks everyone, for the comments. Susan, you just beat me about asking about the grapes. A nice tradition. Mhuire, I know another country where folks drink until morning. I’m still recovering – from last year!!!

I would be drinking coffee with those twelve grapes, otherwise…goodnight.

This is actually a pretty good image of fireworks. Orignially I thought it was white ink again, which works well in your Christmas star picture (you see your things are memorable).
I don’t know where you sent the email address, I can’t find it. I checked the “notify me of followup comments” box. And I would send you mine as well.
I should have listened. The house did burn down. At least this floor. I managed to get the cat out–but I just didn’t get to the neighbors child, who is a brat anyway. (I’m just kidding!)
