A Light In The Sky
Summer is the season of fireworks – not only in real life (RL).

On July 4th, Marin, Skyler, and I went to one of the numerous fireworks displays in Second Life (SL).

While we watched the roof-launched spectacle …

the aroma of roasted pig and other goodies to eat made our mouths water - in RL too!

But that was not the only pyrotechnical experience in SL in the past weeks that I have had the opportunity to enjoy. On June 29th I photographed the Grand Palace Shopping & Event Area opening in Nightwish.

After ball room dancing and a beautiful (and enlightening) live concert by Juel Resistance …

the evening entered its final party stage with an almost hour long, amazing fireworks performance.

The sky literally turned into a spawning ground for all kinds of strange fire flowers …

and alien lifeforms.

The after-fireworks party outside was quite spectacular, too, on its own merits:

Bubbles, balloons, …

and booze turning this into a somewhat surreal experience.

CU at the next fireworks!
