All good things must come to and end. That's pretty much the accepted way of thinking. The latest good thing to come to an end was the annual L'International des Feux Loto-Québec. Since it was the last show of the year, I decided to return to my favourite spot. Sadly, many other people had the same idea. Despite getting there almost two hours before the first explosion, I still had to settle on a spot next to a tree, which would prove to be a little frustrating later. The early bird doesn't always get the worm. You may notice several different photo sizes as you look through this little gallery. That's because the tree I mentioned before had a couple of branches that ended up being just long enough to get into my shots. So, I cropped around some of them, but also left the branches in a couple as well. It makes kind of a diverse little collection. The show was put on by the Panzera Fireworks and Rozzi’s Famous Fireworks companies. Panzera was founded in Italy in 1929 and has been to Montreal twice. Rozzi's Famous Fireworks was founded in Italy in 1895 and is currently run by a fourth generation of the Rozzi family based out of Ohio in the United States of America. This was their sixth appearance in Montreal, having won the Silver Jupiter Award in 1992 and 2005. The first photograph was taken at f/16, 15sec, ISO 100 at 50mm. The second photograph was taken at f/16, 20sec, ISO 100 at 50mm and the third at f/16, 8secm, ISO 100 at 50mm. Here are some more photographs that I took of the show.

With that, my nights of exploding colours in the sky have come to an end. Well, until the Fire On Ice fireworks in December. All good things come to an end, but there are always more good things that are on the horizon.
