Fireworks From A Plane

Do you like fireworks?

Ever seen fireworks from a plane?

Ever seen hundreds of separate fireworks displays from a plane?

Last night when we flew into London from Glasgow I got to see all the glory of Guy Fawkes night. In 1605 some bloke was foiled while trying to blow up the parliament buildings and now every year on the eve of my mom's birthday there are thousands of fireworks displays put on and bonfires burnt.

I captured some video. It's pretty dark, but if you look close you can see it. It looks just like flashbulbs going off at a big sports match, but they're actually fireworks going off all over the countryside of greater London.

ps. We went to church at Westminster Cathedral this morning. It was terrific. A very nice peaceful close to this trip.
