December in the city means people rushing around to make sure all of their Christmas purchases are made on time, but it also means it's time to light up the sky. No, not with the light from Rudolph's red nose, that will be a little late, but with the light from the annual Fire on Ice series at the Old Port of Montreal. This year, it is being presented by the Van Houtte company and takes place during the last three Saturday's of December and the first Saturday in January. Though I no longer live next to the action, I made my way down to a favourite spot on Île Sainte-Hélène to watch the fireworks go off with the downtown core in the background. The first photograph was taken at f/16, 20sec, ISO 100 at 70mm and the second photograph was taken at f/16, 20sec, ISO 100 at 57mm. Here are a couple more shots of the show.

There are still a couple more weeks left if you want to take in the shows. The Old Port is kind of busy at time of the year, but there are several other interesting vantage points that you can watch from.
