Neat firework images, Peter!

Unfortunately the annual firework festival on August 15th was cancelled due to the rain.  No firework images from me this year.  :(

Thank you, Akira. I am sorry to hear that the fireworks festival was cancelled. Hopefully you will have more luck next year!

The One with a Very-Promising Future with 9 votes: Jakov
The Someone-has-tbe-worst-photographer with 5 votes: Peter

Anthony, congratulations! It was wonderful to have you attend the event.

Perhaps you are also interested in learning who the winners per theme are. The good news is that there are three different winners!

theme 1 halfway down: Anthony
theme 2 street food: Jakov
theme 3 diversity: Anthony
theme 4 I was here before: Nicole

Thank you for taking the time to watch the photos and vote!

Wow, what an honour!  Everyone produced great photos, and it was all a lot of fun.

Thank you again to the Hague team for organising the event and being such excellent hosts!

I said from the very start that 30th September is set for me. Wife knows, Calender knows. All good and very probably I will share the car with Werner / Alaun again, depending on his travel plans. I will sure stay the night sat/sun, not sure yet if I come late Friday or early Saturday, depending on my wife's work schedule and Werner's Plan
