Fireworks are big

The scale is immense. I don't think the human brain is good at estimating size of large things hanging in the air. I wonder what it would be like to fly around inside a fireworks display. (Since I'm flying in this imagined scenario, I'm invulnerable, too.)

This post's theme word: decuman, "very large."

Fireworks barge

The fireworks were shot off a barge in the harbor. It's possible to make out the outline of the barge, and -- cool! -- see the reflection of the fireworks in the water below.That obstructing shadow on the right is a tree.
This post's theme word: nubilous, "cloudy, misty, foggy" or "vague, obscure."
