National Day Picnic

Taken exactly one week ago. Many people were seated at a grass patch beside Marina Square, waiting to admire the fireworks display later in the night.



But everyone evacuated half an hour later when rain started to pour. Despite that, the show went on ;-)

From the looks of the light available, they got there very early. It must have gotten very crowded by the time they shot the first fireworks.

So from this vantage point, I assume you were one of the fireworks? :)

too bad for these spectators, they didn't have the NDP goodie bag which included a raincoat.
