Aug. 15 ~ More foreworks
These amazing fireworks photos were taken by my friend Anne Sewell,
from the 23 floor at her condo.
She used some interesting features to capture artistic blur.
I love the middle shot with the Parliament buildings being dwarfed by the lights!

Team mates Alan, Barb, Peg and William.
William is waiting for his 50 m breast stroke to start, and we are there to cheer!
Alan traded his new team shirt for a Turkish one, and I traded for an Australian one!
