On Labour Day in New Zealand, October 26th, everyone has a 3 day weekend. The shops close, school is out and in the small town of Waiuku, where I am staying with my son and his new wife, it seemed as though the entire population had turned out for the annual fireworks display. We went along to join the happy throng.
The OOHS and AHHS and cheers greeted the luminous, flashes and cascades of sparkling colours.

How appropriate that Ailsa chose “Luminous” for her theme this week…
Beautiful images for the challenge, Pauline. 🙂
