Fireworks!

Tonight I saw beautiful fireworks, FM 104.7 Skyfire 20 in
Canberra. It was a wonderful explosion of light
and colour. The blasts were so powerful, they
could be felt throughout the body, the booms
pounding along with my heart. Many different
types of fireworks were displayed, co-ordinated
in a spectacular performance with precision
timing, creatively set to music played by
FM104.7. Dandelion balls,
spikes, fountains, hearts, showers and rays in
many vibrant colours lit up Lake Burley Griffin
and delighted the crowd of thousands.
The display reminded me when my children were in school. I told them they could be and do anything in life as long as they did it well. One of my sons chose to challenge me by saying, "I want to blow things up!". I told him if he did it very well, there are many jobs he could do. Tonight was a beautiful example - a pyrotechnic! This is an extremely skilled and responsible job requiring technical and creative ability. There is a demand because there are numerous public festivals that have fireworks. Pyrotechnics give thousands of people great joy!
