So I am assuming here that fireworks are okay for this gallery since we didn't have that specific topic this year? I like that the "Celebration" topic can include a lot more people anyway and expect party scenes to dominate the top ten.
I shot this same annual display last year from a park a couple of blocks from home. I didn't want to hassle with the crowds this year and had a dog with me who doesn't like noise. So I wasn't that keen on shooting at all and only put up a tripod on my balcony at the last minute.
As it turned out, I liked the view this year from home better than the one I managed in the crowded park last year. So I thought I might as well enter something :-/
Happy New Year all! :)

Wow, and to think I almost didn't even bother to enter this image :P
Well I won't get a swelled ego about a win in a gallery with just 40 images (where were all the party images I thought would win folks!), but I do appreciate the very kind comments and votes all the same- thanks all!
Oh, and my dog did okay with the firework noise too ;)

Congrats on the Blue Brent. You have to enter to win the race and you did so with a winner. Tops of 39 others bears no testimony of this not being a great shot.
Congrast also on the placing in the unoficial points race...we nipped you in the WPL but you got in before me in this race...lol. Great year for you
Good one Brent!! I actually watched those fireworks on TV, from the comfort of my living room and actually took a similar photo with the camera for a lark.
Congrats on your blue! That is a brilliant shot. Lucky you getting such a wonderful view. You got a 10 from me. Happy New Year to you too (and I hope your dog survived it all.)
Bright Hopes for a New year
