Thank you very much for your new year wishes, Fred and Paul! And it was no problem for the link, Fred, as I thought that it was rather fitting for the occasion - it is very well likely that I listened to that song over a hundred times since Italy's display on July 31st, 2013! Indeed, the Italian display of 2013 was definitely one of the most memorable that we have ever seen, and the conclusion was simply stunning.
Thank you also for providing that link to Dubai's spectacular and massive display, although, as you stated, it would be challenging to really enjoy the display in its entirety unless having a sufficient bird's eye view of it!
Paul, that was also an excellent display from Japan! Those shells were massive - they appear to be 24" and/or 48"! Thanks for sharing! We're also very much looking forward to finding out which competitors will be present for the 30th edition of Montreal fireworks (the suspense should help overcome January)!
Vander, thanks for sharing this wild display, as well! The show was very enjoyable, and I loved the musical selection to accompany it!
Trav.
