August 2nd 2006: Airport, Yaletown, False Creek, South Granville, and Fireworks Competition (Czech Republic)

The two movies are videos I took of the Czech Republic's entry into the fireworks competition. The second movie actually happens to be the finale. Viewing them full screen is, of course, best.

There are movies associated with this collection.

And a nearly properly exposed image of Vancouver.  Apologies for the same lens issue near the edge.
A view of Granville Island and its public market, all nestled under
the Granville Bridge (naturally).  I visited the market during the daytime 
two days later. 
I smiled when I took this picture, because I knew it came out well. Excellent.
A stunning view of some of the residential towers bordering English Bay
where it turns into False Creek, as taken from the top of Burrard Bridge. 
Excellent.
A slow motion shot of some the boats traveling under the Granville Bridge into False Creek.
A huge number of boats made this journey back to their moorings from English
Bay after the fireworks ended.

A panorama of English Bay, the location from which the fireworks were launched,
at night.  View full to just barely make out all the people covering the
beaches.  Vancouver proper is the lights to the right side (east side) of
the image.
