↳ In-reply-to » Fuck me, how awesome was this sunset!? Fantastic end of the year, no fireworks can keep up this night, that's for sure. Well, fireworks is very lame in my opinion anyways.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Fireworks sure do look nice, though. 😅 I’m surprised that you managed to take such good shots – it’s pretty finnicky to get the exposure right, IIRC. (I guess your camera had good auto-settings here.)

We were watching from our balcony. Well, not the balcony actually, we were behind the windows. You can’t watch fireworks from the balcony of a (small-ish) tower building, because the rockets will explode right in your face. 🧨

Where I live, it has actually gotten a bit better. Before Covid, people were shooting fireworks like maniacs. Then in 2020 there were basically no fireworks (I think there were restrictions back then), which was a little strange, but very relaxing. In 2021, some fireworks got replaced by laser shows – pretty cool! And this year we’re back to standard fireworks again – but not to the pre-Covid extent. They stopped sooner and I hardly remember any bombs going off today (January 1st).
