| Bonfire

| A very shaky picture of the pyramid of wood that will become a bonfire.
| A movie of sparklers announcing the igniting of the bonfire.
| A shaky picture of the bonfire as it just gets going.
| A movie of the wood in the bonfire catching on fire. If you turn on
the sound, you can hear Di Yin's commentary.

| The bonfire.
| | Look how tall the bonfire is at this point. If you look carefully, you
can see the embers lofting even higher into the air.

| Another video of the bonfire.
| A panoramic movie of the crowd and the bonfire. At this point, the
bonfire is burning so strongly that you can see the crowd clearly. It's
large.
| Notice the ring smoldering grass around the bonfire. The bonfire is at
its greatest strength now.
|
|
|
| I think the fire in this picture looks like some sort of monster.

| Food
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the food stalls, and a sample of the size of the crowd.
I
like the message on the Carvery: "Save Our Bacon."
| I bought dinner from this stand, selling English Pork Sausages. "no
preservative; no additives; 100% traceability"
| Cumberland sausage, roasted onions, and apple sauce. The sausage was
definitely pork and quite tasty. The onions and, yes, even the apple
sauce (surprisingly) went well. Good.
| I, Di Yin, and her high school friend B.

|
|
| Churros sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon. Sub-par, but I ate them
anyway. I think they were a bit undercooked because the stand was
selling them as fast they were making them and undercooking them allowed
them to be made faster.

| Fireworks
|
|
|
|
|
| Early on in the fireworks show.
| A movie of the fireworks. Play it with sound to hear the accompanying
song, Queen's Don't Stop Me Now.
| Ditto (though the fireworks during this part of the song are more
impressive).
| A short movie of sprinkler-like fireworks. I'm not sure what song is
playing in the background.
|
|
|
|
| These firework streamers wiggled like fish up into the sky.
| A long movie of the finale accompanied by U2's Beautiful Day.

|
| Misc
|
|
| A video of people playing with colorful spinners.
