Die Himmelslichter sind faszinierend! Vor Jahren haben wir die noch selbst aus Drachenpapier gebastelt.
Ich wünsche Dir auch noch ein wunderschönes friedvolles neues Jahr 2009!

Happy Birthday Anne and Happy New Year to all your family dear Steffi. Thank you so much for the card; it was so uplifting after our very bad day we had yesterday and it is so wonderful to have friends half way around the world who think of us here. I am sorry I don't send cards, I am so bad for mailing things but I so appreciate your thoughtfulness and I want you to know we think of you very often and I like to visit your blog. Have a wonderful New Year.

That's a beautiful series of images of the sparklers. The slow shutter speed has given it the traffic trails kind of an effect. Beautiful.
