LES FEUX LOTO-QUEBEC: JUPITER AWARDS & HOMAGE TO MICHAEL JACKSON

well,

the 25th edition of the international loto-quebec fireworks of montreal

has just concluded with the award ceremonies,

& i must say this year's competitors from around the world

have all honored this prestigious event

with their performance.

without further delay,

the winners are:

ROYAL PYROTECHNIE,

representing quebec, canada,

has earned the golden jupiter.

(i had personally given them 4.5)

OOPS!!

:D~

PYROMAGIC PRODUCTIONS LTD,

representing hong kong, china,

received the silver jupiter.

i missed that show

& i knew it'd be that good.

it just had to be...

sniff!!

MELROSE PYROTECHNICS,

from the united states earned the bronze jupiter.

good for them!!

(i had given them a 5...)

all in all,

a great year!!

:)~

part of the evening's event was an homage to michael jackson,

entertainer extraordinaire!!

from my vantage point,

it was difficult to see it all as there was no wind to move the fumes away;

& there was no radio broadcast of the event,

as this was not a scheduled event.

who knew michael would die, right?!?

nevertheless,

it was fun & sparkly enough.

the eternal boy that he was

might have like that.

it certainly ended with a bigger bang than he did...

may his soul rest in piece.

i'll admit

i've followed the fireworks this year

more enthusiastically

than in some previous years,

& it is thanks to the competing teams this year

that have made me want to see more & more.

in my heart,

you're all winners

& you have an open invitation

to come back anytime.

see ya all in 2010!!

:)~
