Seoul Fireworks Festival 2013: Part 6 - War of Colors

 

The bridge was bombed with color. Yes, it looked like a bomb just dropped into the river next to the bridge. In fact, it so happened because the fireworks were shooting up from a floating ship on the river. 

Red+White Sparks. 

Conclave red dots and scattered red dots...adorned the black sky..

One of my faves....

not so much, but okay-lah. 

Orange-colored night sky over Han River during the show.

A shower of lights... 

Four separate meteor-shower like fireworks. 

 

another meteor shot up and dimmed out...

Another warfare-like bridge!

Seoul Fireworks Festival 2013: Part 4 - A Sequence of Delights

A delight of wonder...from afar.

but..wait until.... 

this one got my eyes popped up:) I mean...this was really a feast to the eyes.

and..yes..the 3-D effect of watching it live......!~ 

Another nucleus-spark-like burst.... 

An ice cream with two cones on top one after another...and melting:-) 

another typical shape of fireworks sparks...hmm well,.. 

another typical spark we can skip...

...

can we skip this one....it looks like we could. 

But I couldn't. The crisp sound of the red tiny dots of sparks...perturbed me...so as to keep me glued on them. 

Another typical one, but this one's so bright in color and height that I couldn't put it down. A bright night view over Han River.

Seoul Fireworks Festival 2013: Part 2 - The Show Began

It's 7.30 pm and the crowds were about to be blown away by the show....

well...at least me, then.

Right next to Han River, people were sitting on the mats they prepared for the sake of the watching the spectacle. In fact kimbab seemed to be their diner that evening.

It's a kind of kimbab+fireworks watch picnic. 

First....oops..did I do something with my camera? 

Okay, that's more like it. 

Getting bigger... 

and turned into red sparks....and the swoosh of clouds oozed out of the sparks... 

with the background music along with it, the fireworks festival was not an ordinary spectacle.  

more colorful fireworks are burst into the sky... 

yellow.... 

what? where's the fireworks? 

people turned on their smartphone and got glued onto their tiny screen instead of looking at the real fireworks.

Seoul Fireworks Festival 2013: Part 1 - The Struggle

 

The Struggle in order to get out 'alive' from the subway station.

Yes...thousands of people packed into subway, especially line 5, and this was what it was like at around 6 pm when we arrived at Youinaru station. 

Just couldn't be happier. oh really?

well, what could we do? Nothing, right? Everyone's trapped in the same situation.

so..why not think positive?

My wife said "cheese" or "peace"? well...either way... 

As for me....hm...a tired face....even before the festival started.

just look at the people ...or the crowd.....or the swoosh of people....or..mass ....or crowds...or....herds....:) hahahaah...yes....we're like....anchovies.....^^ 

"are you okay, kiddo?" 

ANother Shot at the swarm of people trying to get out of the subway station alive.:)

but..I was glad to know that a lot of them seemed to enjoy the experience. 

Even when we got out of the subway station...we had to fight our way...to get nearer to Hangang River..to get a closer and better look at the fireworks. 

Yeeaaaa......it began......
